The cardinal point of any succeeding and successful government is always centered on the way and manner in which the government handles issues bordering on her educational sector.
As a teacher, you will show your students how to become independent and form their own relationships, you will carefully guide them and intervene when necessary. School is as much a place of social learning as academic learning, and this is true, not only in our early years of education, but all the way through college. Though a teacher’s influence on the social sphere of school lessens as students mature, those early lessons still have an effect on how they will interact with others in the future.
His Excellency Sir! In your recent meeting with all the Headteachers across the 21 local government areas in the state, you said that “I attended public school from primary school up to tertiary level” it is indeed an acceptance to the fact that public schools remain the best option for our children. For this hope to be rekindled, there is need for you (His Excellency) to look inward and absorb the 500 newly recruited teachers as they were subjected to rigorous examination and screening exercises before they (500 newly recruited teachers) eventually scaled through the processes.
Sir! Teachers are founts of experience. They have already been where their students are going, undergone what will go through and are in a position to pass along lessons, not only regarding subject matter, but lessons on life.
His Excellency, Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello, Kogi state need teachers urgently.
