As the 2020/2021 academic session kicks off in Osun state, Commissioner for Education, Hon. Folorunsho Oladoyin has expressed satisfaction over the level of compliance on the reversal of some education policies of the state.
The Commissioner during an inspection exercise to some selected schools across the state on Monday said he is delighted that the schools in the state have easily reverted some of the policies which have been jettisoned.
The former State Assembly member during the inspection said, "the Oyetola adminstration is passionate about education which is why it became necessary for these policies to be reviewed and move the sector forward to achieve results".
In his words, "I am delighted that schools in the state have easily reverted some of the policies. This is a sign of a government that carries the masses along"
"I want to appeal to parents and guardians to get the school uniforms of their wards within the next two weeks, this is because we don't want criminally minded individuals to infiltrate our secondary schools and cause havoc.
"With the uniforms, the criminals can be easily identified and dealt with. I must also commend school principals and teachers for their efforts at ensuring that the policy reversal works without any itch". He stated.
The Commissioner also used the opportunity to appeal to the Old Student Associations of the various schools spread across the state to partner with the state government in the quest to take the education sector to greater heights as government cannot do it alone.
Some of the schools visited include; Baptist Girls' School, Osogbo, St. Charles Boys School, Osogbo, Muslim Grammar School, Ede, Young Tajudeen Grmmar School, Ede, Owode Adejumo Grammar School, Ede among others.
It would be recalled that the Oyetola administration reviewed some of the education policies which included returning schools to their original names and allowing schools to go back to their original uniforms.
