The Anambra State Government has ordered the immediate closure of Upcoming Star International School on Ifite Road, Awka, following an incident involving the alleged bullying of a seven-year-old pupil. According to the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, the government took swift action after receiving reports that the pupil’s classmate had broken her leg during the incident.

Upon summoning the school’s proprietor, Mr. Uchechukwu Onyeachonam, for questioning, authorities discovered that the school was operating without official approval. Governor Chukwuma Soludo subsequently directed that the school be sealed by 2 pm on the same day, citing the dangers posed by unapproved institutions to children in the state.

Prof. Chuma-Udeh warned that proprietors of illegal schools would face legal consequences for violating state regulations and urged parents to avoid enrolling their children in unapproved schools.
