Ekiti Government Bans Graduation Ceremonies in Schools

The Ekiti State Government has announced a ban on graduation ceremonies for pupils in kindergarten, nursery, primary, and secondary schools across both public and private institutions in the state.

The policy, which takes effect from the 2025/2026 academic session, was disclosed in a circular signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr. Mike Omolayo.

According to the circular, the decision is aimed at easing financial burdens on parents and curbing excesses often associated with such ceremonies.

It further stated that the government remains committed to conducting book reviews once every six years for primary schools, while the review cycle for secondary schools has been adjusted from every three years to four years.

Parents and guardians were also advised to allow younger children to reuse textbooks from their older siblings, provided the books remain in good condition.
