Prof. Mathew Sule,  the Executive Chairman of, the Plateau Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has called for deeper involvement of the private sector toward the provision of quality education in the country.

Sule made the call at the inauguration of Tanjuriel Elite Stars Model Academy, on Wednesday in Jos.

The don said that no government could provide quality education without the inputs and support of the private sector.

”What we are witnessing today is a significant milestone toward the achievement of quality education in Plateau and the country in general.

”No government anywhere can provide quality education without the input, support and cooperation of the private sector.

”Education is life wire of the society; it provides cure to societal ills such as poverty, diseases and what have you.

”So, government will not shy away from the reality, rather will leave its doors widely open for possible collaboration with the private sector for better service delivery,” he said.

Sule, who commended the owners of the school for the giant stride, however, reminded them that having a school was largely a social service where skills were acquired, “knowledge is given and not a profit making venture’’.

He also charged the management of the school to employ professional teachers and maintain global standards toward quality service delivery.
