Osun State House of Assembly has summoned Deputy Governor Titilayo Laoye- Tomori in her capacity as Commissioner for Education regarding implementation of some policies introduced by the present administration in the education sector.
Speaker Najeem Salaam said Mrs. Tomori, who was summoned alongside other top officials of the Education Ministry, will appear to review implementation of some of the polices.
Giving the directive when lawmakers met the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Tutors- General in the three education districts and principals of some secondary schools in the state, Salaam also regretted “poor implementation of some of the lofty policies of government on education”, saying “there is need for us to review our activities”.
He noted that despite the huge investment of government in the sector, students still record poor results in external examination, especially in the West Africa Students Certificate Examinations, WASCE.
“There is need to review and evaluate our education system in Osun to make it work properly the way we expect and it requires the contribution of the formulator and the implementer of the policies. Perpetual failure of students under a particular system calls for concern.
“Also, those in the service must advise us frankly. Policies are made for men not men for policies. If the policies of government are the cause of this failure, you need to tell us, perhaps, the government can stop some of them.
“Though, the government has its challenge by not being able pay workers’ salaries and grant to schools for sometimes now, but that does not mean teachers should not do their jobs. If they are eventually paid, how would the students recover what they have lost?
