Ekiti State government has charged primary and secondary teachers in the state to redouble their efforts in the quest to reposition the education sector in the state.
The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr Foluso Daramola who gave the charge while monitoring resumption of schools in the state for the second term of the 2019/2020, academic session reiterated the commitment of the administration of Dr Kayode Fayemi to the provision of free, qualitative and compulsory education in public Primary and Secondary Schools in the state.
He urged the teachers to justify the huge investment of government in the education sector by being more dedicated and committed to their duties.
The commissioner directed school administrators across the state to always forward periodic progress reports of all ongoing capital projects embarked upon by the State Government in their schools to prevent contractors from doing shoddy jobs in schools across the state.

He further cautioned the students against truancy, lateness and other social vices, stressing the need for them to reciprocate the good gesture of government by being more serious with their studies.
Daramola called on the school authorities to reach out to the old Students and other philanthropists to complement the efforts of the government in making teaching and learning more conducive for their Students.
