Oyo State Government, on Friday, said that the distribution of letters of appointment to 5,600 newly recruited basic school teachers in the state will begin on Monday, January 6, 2025.
The PUNCH states that the distribution exercise will take place at Universal Basic Education offices in all local government areas across the state.
The Chairman of the state Universal Basic Education Board, Nureni Adeniran, stated this during a meeting with Education Secretaries in Ibadan, the state capital.
He charged the new teachers to be innovative and embrace modern techniques and approaches in imparting knowledge.
Adeniran, who restated the board’s zero tolerance for examination malpractices, said the new teachers’ appointments take effect from January 1st, 2025.
He, however, noted that about 12 local governments are overloaded with teachers, while some local governments are understaffed, saying a redistribution will be done to ensure equity and justice.
“As young teachers, you are expected to be creative, adaptive, talented, and progressive. We urge you to be innovative; I therefore urge you to be the teacher for this age and the game-changing teacher for the future.”
