The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has urged parents and guardians in the state to enroll their children and wards of school age in public schools at no cost instead of keeping them at home or allowing them to roam the streets.
He made the call at the flag-off ceremony of the registration of pupils into Primary One for the Year 2015/2016 academic session held at St Michael Pilot Nursery and Primary School, Ajilosun, Ado-Ekiti.
The governor, represented by his Deputy, Dr Kolapo Olusola, said that steps taken by the state government to address the decay in the education sector had started yielding result as the ugly trend which made the public primary schools in the state lose ground to private institutions in the areas of enrollment and academic performance were being gradually reversed.
He said that education would continue to receive prioritised attention under the present administration.
The governor urged parents, guardians, teachers, religious bodies and other stakeholders to collaborate with the state government for the success of the pupils’ registration exercise by giving it a wide publicity in their domain in order to curb ignorance and poverty from Ekiti.
