Ondo state governor Rotimi Akeredolu

Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo state has urged all public school teachers to enrol their children and wards in public schools in the state.

The Governor said it is wrong for a teacher who teaches in public schools to enrol their wards in a private schools that it shows they lack confidence in the system.

According to the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, said the Governor made the statement to increase enrolment and further encourage the government to embark on more upgrades of public schools.

The statement reads in part: ''Undoubtedly, the Ondo State Government under Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has made huge investments in the education sector in the state, especially in Primary and Secondary Schools. Tertiary institutions not excluded. The rot, which pervaded public schools in the state before the Akeredolu administration assumed office is fast disappearing. This has also led to an increase in student enrolment in most of the schools.

"Under the Akeredolu administration, over 800 Public Primary Schools have been reconstructed and renovated with perimeter fences, ICT centers and playgroup equipment. 

''The students now enjoy modern desks and chairs procured by the preent administration. Besides, Governor Akeredolu recently recruited one thousand, two hundred (1,200) teachers in the Public primary schools in Ondo state.

"It is based on this background that teachers in the public schools were urged on moral grounds to enrol their wards in public schools for confidence building. This will subsequently increase enrolment and further encourage the government to embark on more upgrades of public schools.

"Succinctly, there is no policy or law in Ondo State that forbids anyone in the service of the government, including teachers, from enrolling their wards in any school. However, there is always a place for moral burden. It is, therefore, not an offence for teachers to enrol their wards in any school of their choice. But it will be morally wrong for teachers, who are proud of their works and teachings, to put their wards in a private school.

The statement reads that Akeredolu will continue to prioritise education and develop it for the overall interest of the people of the state. It is the belief of the Governor that qualitative education is the key to a better tomorrow."
