 An Hugo State government has ordered parents to sign an undertaking against juvenile delinquencies and other crimes such as autism, truancy, alcohol, smoking of hard drugs, among others, being committed by some pupils in public, primary and secondary schools across the state. These activities led to abrupt closure of some schools in the third term of last year as the order led to the postponement of schools resumption in the state. Department of Education, Science and Technology Professor Abayomi Aribabu attributed juvenile delinquencies to poor parenting and some environmental factors, including social media and peer group pressure. It is important to use this opportunity to mention the fact that some of the behaviors, some of the issues we have in our schools will actually be traced to a number of things. Part of it is parenting, poor parenting. Most parents have actually abdicated their responsibilities and they feel that the school should just take over and the parents have to make copies of the forms and then fill the forms in the presence of the principals that's designated maybe teachers, that is the class teacher or vice-president, that's what we say. So you have to fill it in the presence of the school designated person. So that we don't have to see where by somebody we just sign something from somewhere, just come and dump it in the school. So the answer is to see the parents physically and see that it is the biological parent that is there to sign that particular form and then the student, the learner will also sign and then at that point the school will also put the stamp after the principal and the vice-president will have signed.
