Social This is an indispensible organ in the implementation of free and qualitative Education in Imo State and in Nigeria at large. It was introduced into the Nigeria Educational System after, the extra ordinary meeting of the National Council of Education (NCE) held on the 19th of March 2007. After the meeting, States were given mandate to set up School Based Management Committee with the objectives and identified roles and responsibilities which includes the followings: Sensitize parents on enrolment, attendance and retention of the children/wards. Collaboration with the Community to sensitize parents to enroll their children/words into the school system. Support head teacher on initiative leadership and effective management of school.

Social Mobilization Department in collaboration with SBMC/SDC has organized a sensitization campaign in the 27 Local Government Education Authorities in Imo State on the need to send their children and wards to school. This will go a long way to increase school enrolment.
The Basic Education Children from Basic 3 — 1 including the ECCDE Sections have been benefiting from the feeding as Imo State was the 18th State that were cued into the feeding programme. The Home Grown School Feeding has a lot of benefits among which is that children who went to school on an empty stomach were fed thereby solving the problem of starvation, etc. This has also helped in population increase in the school system.

The Department through the LGEA Mobilizes went to the nooks and crannies or the State Schools to re-awake the SBMC of every school in the State. This was done by replacing dead SBMC members of schools, replacement of non interested and dormant members and instituting SBMC members for newly established schools.
