Some clerics and other stakeholders have expressed commitment to ensuring review of the National Policy on Gender in Basic Education, to resolve issues of inequality at all levels of education.
They said this in an interview with newsmen at the end of a two day Zonal Consultative and Critique Meeting on the National Policy on Gender in Basic Education in Abuja on Saturday.
Speaking, some of the clerics said that their religions did not support gender inequality.
Dr Muhammad Kabir, Imam of Abuja National Mosque, said the review process was a welcome development.
While admonishing religious leaders across the country to continue to preach gender equality, he noted that the male and female gender should be given “equal opportunity for learning. That is what Islam says.”

Nigeria’s Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, has decried the sorry state of the standard of Education in the country.
Adamu, while speaking during the official commissioning of completed projects in the College of Education Yola, the Adamawa State capital, lamented that the current situation has produced graduates who can neither read nor write in a tolerable manner.
He said the situation was a cause for concern, adding that students and teachers need to sit up and face their tasks squarely if the situation is to be reversed.
“Some graduates of tertiary institutions across the country cannot read or write applications,” said the minister who was represented by the Director of Tertiary Education in the Federal Ministry of Education, Hajia Rakiya Gambo Iliyasu.
