Ekiti First Lady, Oyebanji Seeks Improved Attention On Basic Education.
Education remains the brain behind development and socio-economic growth in all sectors of economy, therefore, it should be given special attention it deserves.
Wife of Ekiti State Governor, Dr Olayemi Oyebanji stated this at Ido-Ekiti while delivering lecture at a summit organised by State Universal Basic Education Board to train Education secretaries and head teachers.
Dr Oyebanji, who explained that Basic Education was the pillar upon which other levels of education rested, called on Education Secretaries piloting the affairs of basic schools to be well equipped for the task of ensuring effective delivery of quality learning and teaching processes.
She encouraged Education secretaries to engage in peer review on regular basis.
In her word, "I want to appeal to you to put in place effective mechanism for regular feedback to SUBEB from the Local Government Education Authorities" through report writing and periodic meeting with the Board.
The first lady also suggested the need for the education Secretaries to ensure at least 80% skill in ICT literacy to boost the confidence and Morales of their teachers.
Dr Olayemi however solicited an improved funding of Local Government Education Authorities to enhance their functionalities.
Earlier, the Chairman, State Universal Basic Education Board, Professor Femi Akinwumi charged Executive Secretaries not to deviate from the purpose for which they were appointed by being committed to effective monitoring of schools.
