Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state after been sworn in as governor of Oyo state on May 29 2019 announced the readiness of his administration to adopt the free education policy in all the state owned Primary and Secondary schools across the state.

We will like to recall that the immediately past governor of the state Senator Ajimobi introduced a one thousand Naira per term school fees across all the state owned public school which was widely condemn by Engr. Seyi Makinde who was then the candidate of the people democratic party.

Although, there have not been any public declaration by the state government that it is reintroducing school fees in all it public schools.

Information reaching us at Eduwheel from a reliable source narrated ugly event that took place at the Government College Ibadan, where members of the old student association complained to parents that it could no longer continue to shoulder the responsibility of paying PTA teachers in the school and if the association must continue to pay those bills then it will have to reduce the numbers of admitted students in the school.



We also interact with another parent who requested that his identity be made private and he also confirmed the development that the Old students association claimed to have spent about One Million Five Hundred Thousand Naira to settle salary and allowances of PTA teachers as the school does not have enough teacher and they could not rely on Corp Members.

Parents in Government College Ibadan have agreed to resume paying the 3000 naira school fees abolished by the state government as there’s no sign the government is ready to employ more teacher in to the state teaching service anytime soon.

Also at Queens College, Emmanuel Alayande school of science and some more, there are also reports that parents pay similar fee in other to engage the service of private tutors in other not to stall academic process of their children.

We urge His Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde to urgently constitute a panel to look into the issue of inadequate teacher in Public schools across the state, because there are schools in the state with no functional PTA, which will make employing private teachers a daunting task.

We will also continue to monitor the situation and promise to update our readers as soon as more information reaches us.
