The Bauchi State Commissioner of Education, Dr. Aliyu. U. Tilde, has said that “seniority” is henceforth banned in all public boarding schools in state.

The Commissioner said this in a circular to all public schools in the state, obtained by EduCeleb.com on Friday.

Tilde said the Ministry has noticed how the practice of “seniority” among students of boarding schools have deteriorated into inhumane treatment of junior students by their seniors.

The Commissioner, in the circular, titled: “BAN ON SENIORITY,” said seniority creates an atmosphere of fear that is not conducive for learning.
