Onitsha, Anambra State – In a bid to promote sustainability and resourcefulness, the Anambra State Government under the leadership of Gov Charles Soludo has implemented a ban on writing assignments inside textbooks. This initiative aims to make textbooks reusable, particularly for younger siblings of pupils who would otherwise require new books.

For one, it will enable younger siblings to inherit textbooks from their older brothers and sisters as it use to be in the past, reducing the financial burden on parents. Additionally, it will promote a culture of resourcefulness and environmental sustainability among pupils.
*Implementation and Monitoring*
The government is expected to work closely with schools to ensure compliance with the new policy which is common among private schools owner. It is expected that Teachers will be trained to adapt their teaching methods to accommodate the change, and pupils will be educated on the importance of preserving textbooks.

The Anambra State Government’s initiative is a step in the right direction towards promoting sustainability and resourcefulness in the education sector. By adopting this policy, the state is setting an example for other states to follow, and it is hoped that this move will have a positive impact on the environment and the economy.
