Education Secretary Khalid Mumin has announced his resignation, effective next month, after serving in the position for only 18 months. Mumin’s tenure has been marked by various initiatives aimed at improving educational outcomes across the state. His departure comes as a surprise to many, given the ongoing efforts to address challenges within the education system.
During his time in office, Mumin focused on enhancing educational equity and access, advocating for increased funding, and implementing policies to support both students and educators. His leadership was characterized by collaboration with various stakeholders, including school districts and community organizations.
As he prepares to leave his post, there is speculation about the potential impact of his resignation on ongoing educational reforms.
