The Oyo State Government has directed teachers in public schools across the state to intensify efforts towards recovering academic time lost during the recent industrial action triggered by the abduction of teachers and students in Orire Local Government Area.
The directive was issued on Thursday by the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Segun Olayiwola, during a stakeholders’ meeting held at the Ministry’s conference hall, which brought together key players in the education sector to chart a coordinated recovery plan.
The meeting included representatives of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), the Association of Primary School Head Teachers of Nigeria (AOPSHON), the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), and the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
Addressing stakeholders, Olayiwola emphasised the need for urgent academic recovery, urging school administrators and teachers to prioritise effective teaching and learning to mitigate the impact of the disruption.
