Three teachers from Oyo State have won awards in various categories of the 2023 Presidential Teachers and School Excellence Awards.
The State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof Abdulwaheed Adelabu, disclosed this on Thursday in Ibadan during the celebration of the World Teachers’ Day.
Adelabu said the trio are among the several winners who were drawn from different public and private primary and secondary schools across the country.
The Guardian reported that the commissioner stated that the awardees includes Samson Babarinlo, Mr Joseph Amoo, and Mr. Olatunde Odejayi.
Adelabu, while congratulating the winners, reiterated Oyo State Government’s focus on reforms in the education sector, including the recruitment of more teachers into the state’s primary school sector.
“The recruitment and posting of teachers to all our public secondary schools, prompt payment of salaries and good working condition are now the order of the day in Oyo state.
“Efforts are ongoing to recruit teachers at the primary school level. In addition, we have gone a long way in addressing the issue of out-of-school children,” he said.
