“The State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has prepared to go round the state to ensure the demographic statistics of all schools in terms of number of classrooms, number of furniture and number of students in each nook and cranny of the state so that at the end of the day, we would have statistical data that would guide the procurement of equipment, employment teachers and all that it takes to provide quality education.” Al-Makura said.
