Also Speaking in the same vein, the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, said the policy was designed to secure the success of community involvement in secondary education by decentralizing school administration and empowering Principals, Administrators and Teachers, parents and Community Members in decisions making process
