A Nigerian lady has stormed her younger sister’s school after discovering that the Junior Secondary School 1 (JSS1) pupil had been assigned to wash toilets as part of her school duties.

In a video posted on TikTok by a user identified as @tizyolaz, the lady voiced her displeasure with the practice, questioning why a young student should be made to clean the school’s toilets.

She stated that she was not comfortable with her sister being involved in the activity and insisted that the school exempt her from the responsibility.

Confronting the school over the issue, she stated:

“Washing toilets in school should not be part of their responsibility. I don’t want her doing that again. How can a JSS1 student be washing toilets? When it’s not a public school. I don’t know about other students, but please exempt my sister from it.”

The school reportedly defended the practice, explaining that it formed part of the students’ training and was intended to teach them responsibility and discipline.

The lady, however, stood her ground, insisting that her younger sister should be exempted, as washing toilets should not form part of a student’s responsibilities.

The incident has since reignited debate over schools assigning cleaning duties to pupils, with many questioning whether such tasks are appropriate for young learners or should be left to employed cleaning staff.
