Read Time:2 Minute, 12 Second
The Tutor-General/Permanent Secretary (TG/PS), Education District II, Mr. Omotayo Layemo Sanni, held a strategic meeting with Principals of public secondary schools across the District.
In his address, the TG/PS stated that the meeting became imperative in order to raise the academic performance of the District, particularly in external examinations. While commending Principals for their previous achievements, he urged them to raise the bar and improve on existing results.
Mr. Sanni emphasized the importance of stakeholder engagement in school administration, noting that effective collaboration with parents, alumni, community leaders, and other stakeholders remains key to achieving optimal academic outcomes.
On the issue of school security, the TG/PS expressed concern over the rising level of insecurity in schools and informed the Principals that the government would be recruiting security personnel for schools. He, however, advised Principals to actively involve community leaders in recommending trustworthy, reliable, and responsible candidates for engagement as security operatives.
He further commended them on the performances at various competitions both within the state and Nationality while urging them to continue to encourage the students in various extra curricular activities for an all round development of the students.
Deliberations during the meeting largely focused on strategies for achieving outstanding results in WAEC and BECE examinations. Some Principals whose schools recorded exceptional performance in the last WAEC were invited to share best practices.
Notably, Mrs. Bolanle Esho, Principal of Civil Service Junior Model College, Ikorodu, spoke extensively on the importance of mentorship, cultivating a strong reading culture, and adopting the “teach-your-topic” approach among students.
Similarly, Mrs. Yemisi Arogbodo, Principal of Aiyedere Ajibola Senior High School emphasized the need to effectively manage and promote only the promotable Students as a strategic tool for improving academic performance.
