Ekiti WAEC records fallout of Fayemi’s education policy – APC /

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has expressed pleasure over the latest WAEC results placing the state on top of other states in performance.
It attributed the feat to sound education policy by former Governor Kayode Fayemi, which provided incentives for good learning environment and provision of educational items that enhanced learning among the students.
It said the explanation became imperative, as Fayose was wont to claiming unmerited credits for Fayemi’s achievements, citing 2014 budget by Fayemi that was adjudged the most effective and transparent in Nigeria by an organisation, but which Fayose celebrated as his achievement.
The National Examination Council NECO on Friday released the results of the Senior School Certificate Examination it conducted in and outside the country between June and July this year, with Ekiti State having the best performance with 96.48 percent followed by Edo State came second with 96.31 percent.
Reacting to the state’s performance, APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said in a statement that the feat was attributable to education policy instituted by Fayemi that put life into educational administration and management in the state.
He explained that Fayemi called an education submit to develop a roadmap for quality education, which the former governor implemented to the letter, saying the foundation laid by the administration created environment for learning as never before, resulting in the latest incredible performance by the students.
He also noted that the current success did not happen overnight but the result of long planning by Fayemi between 2011 and 2014.
Listing the incentives instituted by the former governor that had brought about the latest performance, Olatunbosun explained:
“Fayemi gave a laptop per child that exposed them to study online and eradicated miracle centres while providing incentive to teachers, including renovation of schools to enhance good learning environment, and also approved special allowances for core subjects and rural postings for teachers.
“Fayemi’s giant strides in education made Ekiti one of the three states in the federation that benefitted from the World Bank’s $50m State Education Programme Investment Project (SEPIP).
“He renovated 183 secondary schools and 836 primary schools and provided other incentives, including establishment of remedial colleges to cater for out-of-school students in the 16 local governments, which made the state to record 52% credit pass in English and Maths in 2013 while the state also won many firsts in various quiz competitions in the same year, topping it with a student from Ikere High School who won the best male student in WAEC.”
Olatunbosun regretted that while Fayemi introduced and sustained compulsory free education at primary and secondary education levels, Fayose had cancelled the policy, making pupils to pay taxes per term while teachers remained unpaid for seven months. This also led to teachers’ strike that kept the students out of school for months, this could not have resulted in this successful outing.
“Fayemi administration of four years when the successful students were in Junior secondary school, impacted well on them such that they had a solid educational background which translated into the latest success.
“Between 2011 and 2014, Fayemi was consistently rewarding best hardworking teacher with a brand new car and paid WAEC fees of students ranging from N86m to N140m, which Fayose has also stopped .
“Fayemi’s administration was continuously organising training programmes for the teachers, while 400 motorcycles were distributed to teachers serving in rural areas, even as he distributed 20,000 sets of lockers and chairs to public schools across the state.
“He delivered books worth N6m to the State Library Board to encourage reading culture among teachers and students and promoted no fewer than 4,000 primary school teachers between 2010 and 2014, including Head Teachers and Deputy Head Teachers, some of whom were demoted by Fayose upon assumption of office.”
The APC spokesman added that teachers benefited from the relativity pay for all categories of workers in the public service and also benefited from the 27.5% Teachers Pecuniary Allowance, while Ekiti was the first in the South West to implement the relativity pay, bringing the minimum wage from N7,500 to N19,300 without owing teachers salaries.
Noting that Fayemi also organised continuous capacity building programmes for teachers and established intensive state-wide coaching programme for SSCE/NECO and JAMB candidates, he regretted that all the schemes had been cancelled by Fayose who was also owing teachers six months salary arrears.

In life you can't have it all. Well the same ekiti did well in the latest NECO result

If it is bad thing, they'll ascribe it to Fayose but good news they'll say it is APC's. The same thing is happening at the national level. Is APC as a party cursed? Just tired of their evil antics

Shameless party called APC.

We all know Fayose is a tout who have no inkling of the importance of education. That's why we see the state assembly having a high number of certificate forgers.
