Bayelsa State government has vowed that it is root out illegal academic institutions operating in the state.

The Commissioner for Education, Dr. Gentle Emelah, revealed this at a press conference in Yenagoa to herald the 2022 Bayelsa State Education Summit.

The threat by the government came just as the government uncovered 12 unapproved private schools out of the 112 operating currently in the state.

It noted that it was doing all it could to improve the standard of education by ensuring that illegal academic institutions were not condoned.

The commissioner advised the parent to make right decision in the choice of school their children should attend; private or public schools.
