Six books banned in Kano schools over inappropriate content

The Kano State Government has taken decisive action to ban certain educational materials from use in nursery, primary, and secondary schools within the state due to concerns about inappropriate and sexually explicit content contained within these materials.

The announcement of this ban was made on Thursday by Baba Abubakar Umar, the Director of Planning, Research, and Statistics in the office of the Special Adviser to the state governor on private and voluntary institutions.

In the official statement, it was clarified that the prohibition applied to a specific list of books that had raised red flags due to their inclusion of content deemed detrimental to the moral development of young students. The banned books include:

1. The Queen Primer (All editions)
2. A Royal School Series published by Nelson Publishers Limited
3. Basic Science For Junior Secondary School by Razat Publishers, 2018 Edition (JSS3)
4. Active Basic Science, 2014 Edition By Tola Anjorin, Okechukwu Okolo, Philias Yara, Bamidele Mutiu, Fatima Koki, Lydia Gbagu
5. Basic Science and Technology for Junior Secondary School 1, 2, and 3 by W.K. Hamzat, S. Bakare**
6. New Concept English For Senior Secondary Schools For SSS2, Revised Edition (2018 Edition) by J. Eyisi, A. Adekunle, T. Adepolu, F. Ademola Adeoye, Q. Adams, and J. Eto.**
7. Basic Social Studies For Primary Schools by B.J. Obebe, D.M. Mohammed, S.N. Nwosu, J.A. Adeyanju, and H. Carbin**

Mr. Umar underscored the shared responsibility of educators and role models in delivering quality education while simultaneously fostering virtuous character development among students.

The Kano State Government’s decision reflects its commitment to maintaining high moral standards in the educational materials used within the state’s schools.
