The House of Representatives Committee on University Education has called for salary increment for primary, secondary and university teachers.

Fulata spoke at a One-Day National Stakeholders’ Workshop on the Development of a Roadmap for the Nigerian Education Sector (2023-2027), in Abuja, on Thursday.

Fulata said that it is important to encourage Nigerian teachers by paying them adequately.

He also stressed the need to translate all subject textbooks into local languages so as to catch up with the world.

According to him, efforts by past administrations to address challenges in the education sector did not yield the desired results.

It is a thing of concern that from decades, several efforts on policies made by successive government to resuscitate and improve the education sector and those efforts have continued to create very little progress.

All over the world, the subject of language of instruction has always been local language of those countries.

If you go to the UK, education is taught in English, if you go to France, education from the basic level up to the tertiary level is taught in French.

All Mathematical, Physics, Chemistry textbook and what have you should be in our local languages. There is no way we can catch up with the world if we continue teaching our children in a foreign language.
