According to the commissioner, the school reportedly demanded N5,000 from each pupil aspiring to become head prefect in the primary section.
Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, the state’s Commissioner for Education, gave the warning during a stakeholders’ meeting of proprietors of private schools.
Ms Chuma-Udeh said the official closing times for primary and secondary schools were 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., respectively.
The Anambra and Enugu governments say they have no legal authority to regulate tuition fees in private schools.
“Governor Chukwuma Soludo, however, directed that the school be sealed before 2:00 p.m. today,” the commissioner said.
Ms Chuma-Udeh said the move was to protect school premises and infrastructure from being messed up.
“Therefore, any parent who visits any school in the state to quarrel with teachers should be prepared to take their child home,” she said.
The state Commissioner for Education, Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, said the school operated illegally.
He said the festival, which would be held between May 2 and June 7, would be bigger and better than the 2023 edition.
Anambra Commissioner for Education, Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, said the closure of academic activities at 2:30 p.m. will enable schoolchildren to have adequate rest.
