An urgent and passionate appeal has gone to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State to embark on massive recruitment of teachers to fill the consequential vacancies in primary schools across the State.
The Chairman of Oyo State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Comrade Raji Oladimeji made the call on Wednesday during the annual Teachers day celebration held at NUT Model School, Owode area of Ibadan, the state capital.
Comrade Raji, while welcoming the guests and top government functionaries to the elaborate event which also had in attendance representatives from all the local government areas across the state, advised the state government to increase service years of teachers to 65 years of age or 40 years in service before retirement.
Rajj stated that the extension will save the classrooms from emptiness and reduce brain drain in schools and accord the system the productive opportunity of pedagogical transition from senior and experienced teachers.
He said this will make the state to be among the states of the federation, which is implementing the 2022 Teachers Act.
While calling for the promotion of teachers, who are qualified for promotion, he urged parents to also cooperate with teachers for a better future for their wards.
The Chairman of the occasion, Engr. (DR) Dotun Sanusi, who was honoured with an award of excellence, while speaking with journalists, stated that teaching needs more motivation and that the government at all levels must do things to encourage the teachers.
Sanusi, proprietor of a standard institution, which is one of the foremost resource centers in Ibadan, advised parents not to underestimate the values of teachers, but to encourage them because of the task of impacting knowledge into students.
A lecture titled “The Teachers We Need For Education We Want : The Global Imperative to Reverse the Teacher Shortage,” was delivered by Comrade Olu Abiala a former chairman of the union, while the climax of the event was a match past by the representatives of various teachers from all the local government areas in the state.
