The Bauchi-based nongovernment organisation, the Young Leaders Network has disclosed that the outright shutdown of the school system during Ramadan and its expected disruption of the academic system in parts of the North, is counterproductive to the educational development of students and the broader goals of the affected states.
In addition, the Young Leaders Network expressed concerns over the complete closure of schools during Ramadan via a press release signed by its Executive Director Suen Justin.
