Plateau State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Kachollom Pyam Gang, expressed concern over the establishment of “these illegal foreign learning centers,” questioning how they began operations without approval.
“The State Ministry of Education is responsible for ensuring quality education, and these schools were found to be non-compliant with registration requirements.
“The closure aims to uphold educational standards and protect students’ interests,” he said.
