Abia State Schools Identification Number (ASSIN)
ASSIN is a unique identification code assigned to every school in Abia State - public and private. It allows the Ministry to effectively monitor, manage, and support all educational institutions across the state. By uniquely tagging each school, ASSIN enables accurate data collection, informed policy decisions, and targeted interventions in areas such as infrastructure, staffing, and student enrollment.
ASSIN is also instrumental in our broader strategy to improve school standards across the board. As part of our commitment to reducing the number of out-of-school children and eliminating shanty schools, the Ministry is extending support to emerging private schools. With proper assistance and oversight, many of these schools can transition into fully licensed institutions with better infrastructure and learning environments.
To further encourage continuous improvement, schools will be ranked using key performance metrics and indices. This ranking system is designed not to punish but to inspire - motivating schools to enhance their teaching quality, infrastructure, and administrative practices. Over time, this approach is expected to drive widespread improvements in both public and private education, creating safer, more effective learning environments for all children in Abia State.
