Government on the 2016/2017 Annual School Census report.
The World Bank
representative gave the recommendation on Thursday during a presentation of the
report to the key-stakeholders in the state.
He said: “Oyo
State has better educational services for all. The report will help in
appropriating resources and making appropriate decisions base on available data
to enhance efficiency. This is the acceptable practice world over and an
exercise like this will improve on educational standard and efficiency of the
state’s educational system.
“Available data in
this report can be used as tools for policy dialogue. This will help the policy
makers like governors, commissioners to make appropriate decisions that can
improve the state’s educational development”.
The state
commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Professor Adeniyi Olowofela
said the report will assist education stakeholders in the state in the
area of education development and planning.
“We will give the
PDF of this report to ICT centres and make it available online to everyone. As
the results of our giant stride in education, we have been invited in London to
give account of our excellent performance in education”, the commissioner said.
Also speaking, the
Director, Planning, Research and Statistics, Mrs. Aminat Atere explained that
“this document today resulted from several activities which included planning
meetings of heads of education sectors with UNICEF officials, training of
enumerators, supervisors and coordinators, field work involving administration
and retrieval of information, annual validation of the raw data then inputting
of data into the Education Management Information System (EMIS) server through
a network system of computers using designated software.
“The inputted data
was then cleaned, an interim report was generated and presented to the
stakeholders for comments and adoption”.
