[Shola Sholaz]

In commemoration of the 2013 Children's Day celebration, parents have called on the Federal Government to review its policy to include the teaching of morals in schools.
.
Some of the parents and children spoke on Monday in Abuja. Mrs Fransisca Oga, a producer with the Independent Television (ITV), said that most schools did not teach cultural norms and values because the children were taught in English.
.
"I will like to blame government's policy because in schools, you need to teach other Nigerian languages right from nursery through primary school and then secondary.
.
"By so doing, morals and the way to relate with people will be very easy for the children.
.
"I believe children should be taught Nigerian languages and make English a second language,'' Oga said.
.
She also stressed the need for parents to assist the society by instilling discipline in the children.
