Breaking: Osun reverses all Aregbesola’s education policies on school uniform

The decision was taken today at the State Executive Council meeting.

VAM News recall that the committee had last week submitted its report to the Governor of Osun, recommending a reversal of the single school uniform regime.

The committee also recommended a return to the 6-3-3-4 education system in line with the National Education Policy.

But it retained Opon Imo, otherwise known as Tablet of Knowledge.

This was made known at the Press Briefing jointly addressed by the Honorable Commissioners for Information and Civic Orientation, and Education, Mrs. Funke Egbemode and Mr. Olayinka Oladoyin Folorunsho respectively, on behalf of the Government after the State Executive Council meeting, held on Monday 2nd March 2020.

Mrs. Egbemode announced that the decision was reached after an exhaustive deliberation on the report of the Education Panel set up by the Governor to review some of the extant education practices and policies. She said that the Council unanimously agreed on the ten issues raised in the report and accepted the recommendations.

Moderating the briefing, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Governor Adegboyega Oyetola , Mr Ismail Omipidan, noted that the speculations about the policy being a jab at the former administration was not correct, stating that the new policies are the government’s response to the yearnings of the people which the governor holds sacred.
