Challenges Facing Lagos Educational System - Lagos NUT Boss
As Governor Akinwunmi Ambode settles down for work as governor of Lagos state, the state chairman of the Nigerian Union of Teachers, Comrade Segun Raheem, has listed the many challenges facing education in the state and in Nigeria.
Speaking with a Naij.com correspondent, Lucky Vincent, the chairman lamented the proliferation of private schools in the country and suggested solutions to the current standard of education in the country.
Q: How would you rate the standard of education in Lagos State, especially with the immediate past government of Babatunde Fashola?
In the last eight years, the system of education has improved from where it was before the advent of the administration of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola. At least, there was tremendous improvement from what it used to be in the past before the end of the administration. New structures were put in place.
Aside from that, policies were initiated in the area of quality control and assurance and improvement of welfare packages for teachers in the area of car loans, housing and things like that, and consistency of maintaining free education and capacity building for teachers generally has improved tremendously.
The introduction of EKO Project and injecting a lot of fund to the schools’ directors and managers to be able to manage what they actually need is commendable. Meeting their needs at the point of call has tremendously geared up the standard of education in Lagos State.
