By Ayobami Agboola, Osogbo

The Government of Osun said shortlisted candidates for the State TESCOM 2021 teachers recruitment will be out on or before the 15th of November.

The Special Adviser to Governor Gboyega Oyetola on education, Hon Jamiu Olawumi made this known while fielding questions from Journalists, in his office in Osogbo.

According to the SA, “before the middle of this month, the list of Successful/shortlisted applicants will be announced.

“I can tell you today that before the second week of November, in fact, before 15th of November, our teachers will be announced. I can tell you the list is ready. We’ve compiled the list and it would be out by 15 of the month of November.

“We conducted interview for all the applicants. The interview was majorly micro-teaching , to know their mode of teaching, and through the interview we found out many candidates that were not competent. Graduates who do not know functions of production, graduates who do not know opportunity cost. We can not absorb such persons to be teaching our children.” he said

While speaking on the policy put in place to improve the quality of education in the state, Olawumi said Governor Oyetola has done tremendously well in ensuring that the students of the state are given qualitative education.

“We are building good schools. The school environment have become something meaningful. This government has continued to provide good schools sine 2010. Our government has never relented in infrastructure upgrade of schools. Our schools must be beautiful than the homes of the students so they will find the school attractive. our schools are getting more beautiful. Now we are recruiting teachers.

“Aside the over 4,000 NP teachers given to us by the federal government, we are still recruiting teachers and we have trained those NP teachers and rejected those that are not qualifed. You can’t just come to our schools and start to teach, we have to examine you to know your capacity so as to know where to put you to use. So, no schools in Osun State will not have adequate teachers by the time we finished this recruiting exercise.

“Ever since we reviewed the school policy, we have complied with the 6,6,3,4 policy. We don’t operate a stand alone policy any more and we have attracted about 1.4 billion naira investment into the education sector in osun since we reviewed the policy.

“Old Students are complementing the Efforts of the state government. If I start to name now, if you go to Osogbo Grammar School main gate today you will think your are entering a Polytechnic. Osogbo Grammar School just refurbished about 5 buildings that have five classrooms and school library. St John Grammar School, Ile-Ife did the same thing, Ilesa Grammar School is doing the same thing, Ijesa Muslim Grammar School is doing the same thing, St Charles, Osogbo is doing the same thing, Iwo Grammar School is also doing the same thing.

“Old Students of those schools have come back because Oyetola governemnt implemented and restored the name of their schools. Ilesa Grammar School used to be Ilesa Grammar since its establishment, before there was a contradiction . Ilesa Grammar School has produced about 5 University vice Chancellors. So ,you cannot just run the school in the manner that would not be acceptable, that would not make them be proud of their schools but , now they are proud of their schools and Infrastructures are rolling in”,he said.
