Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State on Saturday said his administration did not reform education policy to spite anyone.
He said the reforms were aimed at setting the right direction for education in line with the desires and aspirations of the people, including the restoration of the 6-3-3-4 system which is in conformity with the National Policy on Education.
Oyetola during the inauguration of the newly-renovated block of six classrooms in Ilesa Grammar School, Ilesa, reiterated that education remains the backbone of his Administration’s Development Agenda, hence the prompt intervention that had ensured the provision of quality, affordable, equitable and functional education across all the sectors of the State.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Governor Oyetola said the decision to review some extant policies in the education sector was in response to the demands of Osun people and relevant stakeholders, including old students’ association of Ilesa Grammar School, that not only expressed their reservation for what was done in the past, but even took the government to court.
Oyetola said the decision was arrived at having painstakingly assessed the popular demands of individuals and critical stakeholders who also kicked against the merger of schools and change of uniforms.
He added that his Administration’s policies and programmes are driven by citizens’ needs and demands saying, “ I am happy to report here today that we have harkened to your voice of reason and the old things have all passed away.”
