The Oyo State Government has cancelled a six-year waiting period for primary school teachers in the state from Grade level 13 to the next grade level.
The Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), Dr Nureni Aderemi Adeniran revealed this today during a live radio interview programme.
He said the promotion waiting period for teachers on Grade level 13 and above was initially six years, but the state government has adjusted it to be at par with their colleagues in the mainstream service.
The Chairman added that this was necessitated by the fact that welfare of teachers and stakeholders in the education sector is paramount to the Governor.
Adeniran applauded Governor Seyi Makinde’s investment in laudable projects, which in turn is enhancing effective learning and quality academic activities.
The SUBEB Boss stressed that the Board and other educational bodies in the state are committed to the gradual improvement and performance of learners, reiterating the commitment of the present administration to sustain its drive for quality education in the state.
Similarly, the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Barr. Rahman Abiodun Abdu-Raheem said the Oyo State Government has commenced distribution of exercise books to students of Public Secondary Schools and Technical Colleges for the 2021/2022 Academic session.
The Commissioner said this is another forward leap in the history of education in the state, as it would assist parents in reducing the cost of education of their children.
Abdu-Raheem noted that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Engineer Makinde had invested much funds on personnel and education materials from the Oyo Education Trust Fund’s purse, so as to bring greater development to the sector.
