The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke said that his administration will focus on reviving academic performance of students in the state to stand out in national examinations.
The governor made the statement through his deputy, Kola Adewusi, during the commissioning of a computer-based examination centre donated by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Faruk Yahaya under the civil-military intervention projects in Obokun on Thursday.
According to a report by Daily Post, the governor bemoaned the current standing of Osun State in public examinations, describing it as unpalatable.
He also highlighted measures put in place by his government to take the state to the top in performance rating in public examinations.
According to him, “I am excited at the commissioning of the computer based examination centre basically because it touches the heart of the state educational priority.
“My government is focused on reversing the current poor standing of the state in public examinations and placing it between number one to ten on performance rating by giving urgent attention to the learning environment, learning tools and teacher-student question.”
He noted that motivation for teachers is key, adding that his government is already prioritising improvement of schools by embarking on renovation and upgrading of facilities.
More so, the issue of learning tools is being addressed on various fronts.
Also, efforts are ongoing to revive the nine computer centers located in schools across the nine federal constituencies.
“Our team of technocrats also recently hosted several meetings on tech assisted learning and examination processes. Our administration is so passionate towards an holistic approach to the low performance of our children at the national examinations,” he added.
