Abubakar Yahaya, Head Teacher of Yelwa School, had complained of inadequate teaching and non- teaching staff in the schools.

Bala Garga, Chairman, Parents Teachers Association (PTA), Bauchi Police Children School, urged the Force Headquarters to accord the region priority in term of education.

Garga said the region was among the educationally disadvantaged regions, coupled with insurgency that had bedeviled the region.

He called for the introduction of PTA meetings on a quarterly basis to enable the stakeholders discuss challenges they were facing.
