Kwara to upgrade 120 schools

Date: 2013-07-15

The Kwara State Government yesterday said it would upgrade 120 secondary schools to meet the global standards of teaching, infrastructure and pupil-teacher ratio.

In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Communications, Dr Muideen Akorede, in Ilorin, the state capital, the government said the move would enhance the quality of education and teaching in line with the state's education reform programme, tagged: Every Child Counts.

The statement said: "Secondary education should be built on the strong foundation laid at the basic level. So, we have to get it right by providing high standard education in an atmosphere conducive for quality learning for our children before they begin tertiary education.

"That is why we are matching our teacher training with a curriculum overhaul and comprehensive upgrading of our secondary schools."

The statement noted that in an attempt to ensure the geographical spread and equitable distribution of projects, 40 secondary schools were selected for overhaul from each of the three senatorial zones in the state.

The proposed upgrade will cover classrooms' rehabilitation and construction, provision of science equipment, computer laboratories and sports facilities in all schools selected for the first phase of the project.

The statement said another set of schools would be upgraded when the 120 schools are completed.

It added that the proposed overhaul of the schools would improve on the 400 blocks of classrooms rehabilitated by the government in the last two years.
