The Oyo State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Segun Olayiwola, has stated that the state will no longer take the issue of hooliganism lightly across its public schools, saying that the state is collaborating with the police to ensure maintenance of peace and order across schools.
Olayiwola warned parents and wards to be wary of all activities that could reduce the quality of the education sector, noting that the state would now fully enforce the laws against use of mobile phones by public school students and also attack examination malpractices squarely.
“The state will no longer take the issue of hooliganism lightly across its public schools, as government is collaborating with the police to ensure that peace and order are maintained across schools,” he said.
He said that the Makinde-led administration had implemented many policies towards transforming the sector, which prior to the Governor’s assumption of office in 2019, had become deplorable, with education quality at its lowest ebb.
Olayiwola who spoke at the Omituntun 2.0 Inter-Ministerial Briefing on Thursday, attributed the positive turnaround witnessed by the education sector in the state to Governor Makinde’s visionary and insightful leadership.
The Commissioner’s statements were conveyed in a release issued on Thursday by Special Adviser (Media) to Oyo State Governor, Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, and made available to newsmen in Ibadan.
The Commissioner said that the government’s policies on budgetary allocation, reducing the gap in education infrastructure, reducing the number of out-of-school children and increasing the workforce in the education sector, among others, have had a positive impact on the quality of education in the state.
