THE Lagos State government on Tuesday last week presented news car to two teachers for excellent performances.

Funmilayo Akinlade of African Church Primary School, Mosan, Alimoso emerged the best teacher in the Primary School Category while Bose Deji-Oderinde of Wesley Girls’ Junior Secondary School, Yaba, emerged with the highest rating in the Secondary School Category.

The two teachers were among 57 awardees that were honoured by the state government at this year’s Education Merit Award ceremony held in Lagos.

Presenting the cars, Commissioner for Education, Olayinka Oladunjoye, said the initiative was part of ongoing activities of the state government to promote excellence in schools.

Oladunjoye reiterated that education remains a critical sector of any society because it ensures the transmission of positive core values from one generation to another. And this explains why teachers remain the strongest tool in the delivery of qualitative and standard education in the world.

The commissioner, therefore, assured the academic community that the State government would continue to embark on programmes and activities that would enhance teaching and learning in the schools.

She also appealed to stakeholders to continue to support the government in pursuit of a brighter and rewarding future for the children, in the hope of a greater and prosperous nation for us all.

The objective of the yearly award is to recognize and reward deserving public schools, teachers, principals, students/pupils and personnel in the education sector for their hard-work, high performance, high productivity and achievement in their fields of endeavours.

Oladunjoye noted that nine of the awardees had been shortlisted to compete with their counterparts from other States for the President’s Teachers and Schools’ national awards later in the year. Two of the state’s principals – Ayodele Abiodun Ayerin of Vetland Senior Secondary School, Agege, and Emmanuel Olu Adebiyi of Iju Junior Grammar School, Iju – have won national awards in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

Chairman of the occasion, a former Head of Service in the state, Adesegun Ogunlewe, earlier commended the State government for keeping faith with the state’s workforce and enjoined teachers to take advantage of ongoing reforms to enhance productivity.

Ogunlewe noted that the award ceremony is good evidence that the government is blazing the trail in human resource management. He urged the awardees to continue to put in their best, citing that the underlining reward for good work is more work.

Fifty-five other awardees ranging from students, teachers, principals, schools and staff were also honoured with different gift items such as freezer, refrigerators, and television set among others.

Yeah, Exactly....

what are the criteria used

That's one of the benefits of a good government. Enjoy your cars cos it is deserved.

I can't find my teachers name there yet they would complain why I wasn't first in exams ....mschwwww olodos

I actually applaud them for this. Teachers have been long neglected.

But then, what criteria was used in selecting the best teachers? And why only two?

Can I comment when I get to work?

Best teacher? By whose standards

Nice one oga fashola. This is a really wonderful development, it would serve as a motivational platform for a more zestful contribution by the teachers to their students development.

I guess Teachers no longer need to wait for their reward in heaven...

Fashola loves playing to the gallery, he gave out two cars and he splashed it on papers while the schools in lagos states are in bad condition .

That means teacher reward are no more iin heaven

The era of political reward,why now?why not since the era teachers measure yam with tape rule?

Is Lagos state in France?... I've never heard of it?

This is d type of development we need, that will motivate our teachers to teach well, some teachers Ŋø̲̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥ dey try at all, very lazy peeps, mind u I know what I'♏ saying, aΩ̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ d few ones working shul be rewarded accordingly

Wow! That's so nice.

Overall any of the following : increment of salaries ,better welfare packages and better teaching conditions would've gone a longer way but,well,its all gud

Out of well over 2 thousand schools, how do you pick the best teacher? I mean, how exactly can you determine the best teacher? What criteria do you use? Best teacher my foot! The best teachers are amongst the once who will never win that award. This award is definitely based on political affinity and connections.

Lagos state setting the pace since 1908

Wonderful

Wonderful development. This will encourage other teachers to be better.
