Osun State Governor Put on School Uniform Like Pupils
18:18:00
The Osun State government yesterday inaugurated the Salvation Army Middle School in Osogbo, the state capital.
The school is one of the 100 elementary, 50 middle and 20 high schools being built under the O’School initiative.
Parents and pupils defied the rain to witness the event.
Governor Rauf Aregbesola said the inauguration was a reaffirmation that Osun’s education policy is “a train engineered for a one-way trip to success”.
He said O’School was conceived at the education summit organised by his administration when he assumed office to address infrastructural decay in public schools.
Aregbesola said: “The summit was to address the decay we met in public schools, which we found unacceptable. The summit, attended by eminent Nigerians like the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, came up with a reform blueprint to overhaul the public education sector.
“We have since been working assiduously to implement the reforms. The inauguration of this school is evidence that all is going as planned with our reform. As part of the reform, we decided to reorganise the school system into Elementary, Middle and High School categories.
