The Zamfara state government in Nigeria conducted assessments of 242 private schools to evaluate their compliance with minimum educational standards. Out of 508 identified private schools, 123 were rated 'good' and 119 were rated 'fair' or 'poor.' The evaluation included financial audits, which resulted in the recovery of N23 million in unpaid taxes. Officials emphasized efforts to train school proprietors in tax compliance and digital record-keeping, while also highlighting the need for legal frameworks to govern private education. The initiative aims to enhance educational quality, safety, and transparency within the state.
