Former students and alumni groups in Oyo State have publicly commended the Governor for his bold educational reforms, especially the recent recruitment of 15,000 teachers. The gesture signifies recognition of efforts to strengthen public education and improve learning outcomes across the state.
The alumni say that hiring such a large number of teachers addresses chronic staff shortages in public primary and secondary schools, a long-standing bottleneck in delivering quality education. They also acknowledge other complementary measures reportedly undertaken by the Governor, such as upgrading school infrastructure, supplying learning materials, and amplifying efforts for teacher training.
During a gathering of alumni representatives, speakers reflected on how understaffed schools have often led to overcrowded classrooms, teacher burnout, and eroded quality of instruction. They argued that with 15,000 new teachers, student-teacher ratios will improve, allowing for more personalized learning and better academic performance.
The alumni further called on the state government to sustain the reforms. They urged continuous funding, policies that encourage teacher welfare, regular monitoring of school performances, and community involvement in school management. Some alumni pledged their support in mobilizing resources and advocating for transparency in implementation.
The Governor was praised not only for the teacher recruitment but also for being responsive to public demands, showing commitment to delivering on education promises. Observers believe these steps can help restore confidence in the public school system and position Oyo State as a model for education reform in Nigeria.
