EDO State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has advised all stakeholders in the education sector to brace up for the rehabilitation of the sector noting that the future of the country depends largely in its human capacity development and not the oil sector.
He also disclosed that the state is to set up Governing Councils which would empower community leaders to supervise schools in their communities as a means of checking indiscipline in schools.
Governor Oshiomhole who spoke weekend at Irrua at the 2011 Education Summit organized by the Association of Esan professionals, lamented that even teachers posted to the rural communities no longer teach in rural areas and added that, you post them to rural areas, they always bribe their way back”.
According to the governor, “we discussed at the council that we have to set up governing councils, so that we can empower community leaders to supervise schools in their various communities and be able to report to the Ministry of Education, so that if those who are paid to monitor do not do so, the communities would not allow their pupils to idle away”.
He decried the attitude of teachers who abandon their responsibilities to engage in other activities describing it as a huge disservice to the education system.
