Osun state PDP on Wednesday asked the Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola administration to apologize to Osun state people for what it referred to as its destructive handling of education which culminated into the very shameful placement of the state in the recently released performance ranking index by the West African Examination Council, WAEC.
The party said this while reacting to the latest state-by-state performance record in the Senior School Certificate Examination for the 2021 calendar year.
In the Public Schools- based performance data made available by the West African regional examination body, Osun state was ranked 36th out of 37 ranked entities, involving the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The PDP has alleged that this was as a result of the laissez-faire attitude of the APC- led administration to education in the state.
Chairman, Osun state PDP Caretaker Committee , Dr Akindele Adekunle in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com alleged that the all- important sector was left in the hands of do-nothing propagandists, while the proverbial future leaders were having their future inadvertently fogged up.
‘Only a government populated by Emotionally Handicapped Adults, whose inability to effectively recognize and interpret importance of education as bedrock of societal development would show indifference despite the turn of events in Osun basic school education policy, approach and the emerging consequences’ the PDP said.
The party recalled how it had on several occasions advised the outgoing government on the need to prioritize curriculum- based teaching policy over ego massaging or artificial policies which had accumulated negative impacts on the school system in the state.
“For long, the state government had rebuffed all wise counsels to employ competent professionals to fill existing vacancies in key subjects in almost all Public Secondary Schools in the state, in a bid to avert the present disaster.
The State government had also over time, under our Mr “silent achiever”, appeared more comfortable rigmaroling with unprofitable cosmetics in the system instead of developmental initiatives, capable of assisting school principals and the teaching staff to aide students’ learning. The results we have witnessed today can therefore not be a magic of the devil!
What more, Oyetola is happy expending parts of the funds expected to be used to revamp badly bleeding education sector in the state on illegal local government elections that will surely fall flat. These are steams of misplaced priorities for which innocent students are being made to suffer heartaches and a bleak future through faulty education.
Our great party, under the incoming administration of the Governor-Elect, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke assures parents, whose wards have been subjected to psychological trauma with the unsavory performance in WASSCE and other basic examinations of better days ahead.
The Senator Ademola Adeleke administration as promised during electioneering will set education as topmost priority by restoring sanity to the sector, away from personal aggrandizement’ the party submitted- Team@orientactualmags.com
