Kano Assembly passes private schools amendment bill
The Kano State House of Assembly has passed the Kano State Private and Voluntary Institutions Board (Amendment) Bill, 2026, introducing measures aimed at improving the regulation and administration of private and voluntary educational institutions across the state.
The bill was approved during Monday’s plenary after lawmakers reviewed and adopted the report of the House Committee on Education.
The committee had earlier conducted public hearings and consulted key stakeholders before submitting its recommendations to the Assembly.
Following the bill’s passage, Speaker of the House, Ismail Falgore, praised lawmakers for their commitment throughout the legislative process.
He described the amendment as an important milestone that will enhance the oversight and effective management of private and voluntary schools in Kano State.
The amended bill provides for the creation of the office of Executive Secretary to ensure more effective management of the board.
It also introduces a provision requiring private and voluntary schools and institutions to obtain approval before increasing tuition or other fees.
In addition, the legislation is designed to protect parents and guardians from arbitrary fee hikes by private educational institutions, ensuring that any proposed increase is subject to regulatory oversight.
The amendment followed extensive consultations with stakeholders during public hearings organised by the House Committee on Education before its final consideration and passage by the Assembly.
