The Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Hon. Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun recently paid an official visit to TESCOM with a call for greater and improved synergy among all Agencies and Stakeholders in the Education Sector.
Alli-Balogun emphasised the need to improve motivation, training and welfare of teachers in post-primary school while maintaining discipline and professionalism. He also stressed the need to review the promotion and career progression of teachers to reflect their performances.
The Commissioner also enjoined Teachers to be ICT compliant, strengthen Counselling Strategies, improve monitoring of schools as well as identify the missing links between subject-based professional Bodies and Government Agencies in identifying needed training structures for Teachers.
Advocating concerted efforts to improve the results of students in the West African Examination Council, the Commissioner emphasised the need to improve the teaching of STEM, which is an approach to learning and development that integrates the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Responding on behalf of the Commission, the Chairman TESCOM, Mrs. Victoria Mopelola Peregrino, thanked the Commissioner for the visit, assuring that all the concerns raised by him will be addressed appropriately.
She equally echoed the need for greater and improved collaboration amongst all government agencies for greater and better service delivery.
