Nigerian States Ban Writing Assignments in Textbooks to Cut Costs and Promote Sustainability
The issue of writing assignments inside textbooks in Nigerian education is being debated as some states have taken steps to ban the practice. Several states have issued circulars to abolish the custom of writing in textbooks, aiming to reduce the financial burden on parents and promote sustainability.
Imo State and Anambra State have implemented policies to ensure textbooks remain valid for at least four years, reducing the need for annual replacements. The move is seen as a way to make education more affordable and environmentally friendly while ensuring the longevity of educational materials.
