Post Primary Schools Board Calls for Stronger Parent–Teacher Cooperation to Promote Peace.

The Acting Secretary of the Post Primary School Management Board, Birsan Penuel, has called for mutual understanding between parents and teachers as a key step toward promoting peace in secondary schools.

Mr. Penuel made the appeal while receiving members of the Adamawa State Peace Commission during a courtesy and familiarization visit to his office.

Addressing the delegation, the Acting Executive Secretary proposed the appointment of a desk officer within the board to facilitate smooth communication between the commission and school authorities. He described the visit as timely, citing the growing level of misunderstandings between teachers and parents in various communities.

According to him, strengthening collaboration between both parties would significantly enhance the establishment and effectiveness of peace clubs in secondary schools across the state.

Mr. Penuel also urged community members to serve as peace ambassadors, warning that during communal clashes or misunderstandings, government property particularly schools often becomes the first target of destruction.

In his remarks, the Director of School Services of the board commended the Peace Commission for the visit and stressed the need to address issues of theft and insecurity in schools.
