She stated that, as the government improved on infrastructure in public schools, it would also give priority attention to the welfare and good condition of service of the teachers to enable them deliver on their mandate to impact knowledge, adding that the Ministry of Education under her watch would continue to ensure that the schools’ curriculum were in tandem with the modern day reality of effective teaching and learning

Adebule, while admonishing parents to always play their roles by ensuring that the education and well being of their children remained their top priority in the new year, assured that the state government would always play its parts by making facilities and conducive environment available from time to time.
