Barrister Olaleye On Educational Standard For Schools.

Barr. Olaleye stressed the need for private schools in the State to align with the government in its commitment to qualitative education, asking them to achieve the 5 points standard rate with structural, academic, and welfare of students and staffers in their schools.
He said “You have to struggle to be at the standard we want you to be because there will be criteria for you to attain a particular standard, I am sure all of you aspire to get to the 5 points.
“This one will come very soon and not only that we will just do it, but it will also be there on our website and it will be there in front of your school, we will put it there that this school is rated 3, this school is rated 2, this school is rated 5.
“And the rating can come down as well, the fact that you are 5 today does not mean next year if you fall in standard and you fall in quality and other criteria you won’t come down so, this one is coming very soon.
“I want to appeal to you to join us raise the standard of education in Oyo state and to ensure that our ranking of achievement and external examinations performance becomes the best,” Barr Olaleye said.
In his response to the State Commissioner address, the State’s Chairman of Association of Private School Owners of Nigeria (APSON) Otunba Bayo Ojo, in his short address, commended the State government for its giant strides and a huge commitment to the development of education.

Mr Ojo said his organization noted the bravery of the State government for taking further steps in the midst of the pandemic to specially train teachers in preparation for school reopening which he described as ‘training the trainers’.
He also expressed gratitude to the state government for bringing private schools into limelight through its policies and programs.
