TURMOIL IN OYO STATE AS SCHOOLS ARE ASKED TO MERGE...

SCHOOLS SET TO MERGE IN OYO STATE...

 

The decision of the Oyo State Government to reverse the creation of more secondary schools from the existing ones is frowned at by principals, vice-principals and even teachers who view the policy as a coup.

From around 570 secondary schools in Oyo State, the number rose sharply during the administration of former governor, Rashidi Ladoja, to more than 900.

The governor, who was voted into power in 2003, seized the opportunity to establish popularity with the teachers, by creating more schools from the existing ones and promoting some of the teachers to become principals and vice-principals.

It had no cost as the administration did not build new classrooms on new lands. It only used the existing structures to expand the schools, hinging its action on the then Federal Government policy on education, which recommended division of existing secondary schools to reduce the number of pupils in one school.
