In a bid to ensure compliance and adequate guidance in public secondary schools across Ogun State, teachers have been charged to excel in their profession, be dutiful and ensure the scheme of work is completed before examination.
Chairman, Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), Evang. Olalekan Ifede, gave the charge during the monitoring of school resumption for the Second Term 2023/2024 session.
Ifede, in company of Commissioners and staffers, said comportment of teachers and the dress code should be worthy of emulation for students, assuring that the Commission would continue to ensure adequate welfare of teachers in the state.
“The monitoring exercise is a crucial part of the activities carried out by TESCOM. As the Second Term 2023/2024 academic session begins, we move round schools to assess compliance level, admonish our teachers and listen to their challenges, with the aim of advancing education in the state”, he stated.
In her remarks, Permanent Secretary in the Commission, Mrs. Melutia Ogunremi, enjoined teachers to serve as role models, saying their behaviours go beyond what they teach in the classrooms.
Responding, the Principals, Comprehensive High School, Ijebu-Ife and Saint Brendan Grammar School, Ogbere, Mr. Moses Omotiba and Mrs. Adegbemi Bolawale, respectively, appreciated the Commission for the visit and motivation, promising effective service delivery for the advancement of education in the state.
