Nigerian Mother Criticizes Private Schools for Selling Non-Shareable Textbooks, Calls for Cost Reduction

A Nigerian mother has raised concerns over private schools selling textbooks with workbooks inside, making them unusable for sharing among siblings. She highlighted that in the past, younger siblings could use textbooks passed down from older relatives, but the introduction of textbooks with workbooks prevents this practice.

This situation leads to students being unable to share books, increasing the financial burden on parents. The mother advocated for a return to the traditional method of using notebooks for schoolwork to save costs.

The issue has sparked discussions among parents and educators about the practicality and affordability of current educational practices in private schools in Nigeria.
