FG MOVES TO SCRAP JSS-SSS SEPARATION POLICY OVER RISING STUDENT DROPOUTS

Image
The Federal Government has announced plans to discontinue the policy separating the administration of Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) and Senior Secondary Schools (SSS), describing it as an ineffective reform that has contributed to rising school dropout rates. Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, made the announcement on Tuesday in Abuja, saying the policy, which created separate management structures for JSS and SSS, has failed to achieve its objectives. According to him, it has created unnecessary administrative bottlenecks and made it more difficult for students to progress from junior to senior secondary school.

He directed officials of the Federal Ministry of Education to prepare a position paper for presentation to the National Council on Education (NCE) to facilitate the review and eventual discontinuation of the polic...

BREAKING: THE SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN PRES. TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER SEEKING TO END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

Image
The US Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump’s attempt to end automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants and most temporary foreign residents. In a 6-3 ruling, the court reaffirmed that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment guarantees US citizenship to anyone born on American soil and ruled that the Constitution does not support Trump’s interpretation of the law. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said the amendment’s language is clear, stating that “all persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” The ruling effectively blocks Trump’s executive order, which sought to deny automatic citizenship to children born to parents who are in the country illegally or on temporary visas. The court held that such a constitutional guarantee cannot be overturned through executive action. The dec...
