The Senate Joint Committee on Education (Basic and Secondary) and Health on Monday in Abuja called for increased private sector participation in the education sector.

Chairman of the Committee, Sen. Aliyu Wamakko made the call during a public hearing to investigate the outbreak of epidemic which affected 39 students and led to the death of three students of Queens College, Lagos in 2017.

He said: “It is so sad that we believe that government alone should take full responsibility of education in the country.

“The society particularly the private sector has a role to play to make the education sector grow.
