are u sure this is a good move, are there only Christian's in the state?

And who told you that Islamic schools in the state will not be returned to them?

religious schools is different from government school, this seem like hes handing over government schools that is attended by both Christians and muslims to the missionaries...

Government is abdicating their responsibility.

Charleys:
Nice moves

Osun state wanted to do this because they didn't have money to renovate schools but some yoruba muslims rejected it and I'm sure aregbesola will always regret why he didn't make that decision.

The Muslims who don't want the yoruba race to be educated will go against this move just like in Osun.

They'll be shouting hijab up and down. Before you know it Fayemi will cower.

Thank God Èkìtì is predominantly Christian state so it should be a success.

He is handing over the school to its original owners, the missionaries. Note not all the schools will be handed over, the government will still control some of the schools.

Secondly the missionaries are ready to give quality education and also equip the schools to standard, and and therefore provide the right education for Ekiti indigenes.

Thirdly there is a time stipulation where the Muslims will have to change their kids to other schools if they do not like the new missionary school by the state.

Or if they do not like it should then go to Islamic schools. It's as simple as that.
Because the government will no longer control the mission schools.

SLAP44:
Because Peter Obi succeeded with this in Anambra

Exactly
Im a Yoruba person and want this to be replicated all over Yoruba land
Ajimobi wanted to do this also, but d Muslims didn't allow him to and caused chaos in Ibadan then
If u go to Ibadan, u will weep if u see the States of schools in Oyo state
The Muslims don't care about good schools,all their problems from day one is Christianity
I'm sure u have seen waec ranking of Yoruba States, well this is one of d reasons
Its just that in d university level in d south west their Christian counterpart dominate it apart from unilorin
That's y there are still some little progress in sw tertiary institutions

Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi has said his administration will begin  the return of schools to missions in September as part of  the effort to  improve the quality of education in the state.

Fayemi said this  in Ado Ekiti on Friday while hosting the Prelate of the Methodist Church, Nigeria, Dr Samuel  Uche.


He  said, “The return of the schools will further stamp the administration’s respect for values.”

He  promised that “the government will work out an efficient and workable model as practised in other states where schools had been transferred  to the missions.”

Fayemi  said his  government would pay the teachers and give the schools  grants  while the missions would take care of administration.

The governor promised to step up the measures put in place by his administration to tackle  farmers-herders clashes  for peace in the state.

He said,  “Anyone caught engaging in any criminal act will be made to face the consequences and addressed as a criminal irrespective of their  tribe.”

The Prelate, who said the purpose of his visit was to pray for the governor and the state, made a  case for the return of some Methodist schools in the state to the mission “so that Godly morals will further be instilled in the pupils.”

Uche described Fayemi as “a good product Ekiti State is lucky to have judging from his antecedents during his first term as governor and as Minister of Solid Minerals Development.”

abia state did it and is now on top of the rank (first position) in secondary education 3 times back to back year after year. before then they used to be second postion

amaniro:
Fayemi why didn't you make this giant strides when you were a minister??

Was he minister of education??

Olawalesmarter:
When it come to infrastructure Aregbesola is the best Governor in the History of Osun State

Stop judging leaders in other region just because of their party affiliate and Rumours

Yet, when it came to payment of salaries and welfare of the people of Osun, Aregbesola would have easily won the award of worst performing governor.

Cantonese:
A very anti people policy enacted by some past governments. The aim was to make education cheap and it became counter productive. Education was bastadized and corruption took its seat. The worst losers were the christians. Prior to that time Christians attended Islamic schools and vice versa. Politicians ruined every thing as they politicized it.

The present LASU campus originally belonged to the Methodists. Infact Methodist boys high school was meant to relocate there in the late 70s from the then school premises on broad street Lagos. Alhaji Jakande's administration stopped it and the so called afternoon sessions in the secondary schools were introduced. He ended up constructing what came to be known as "poultry houses" in the name of school buildings. Lagos state government took over the site and situated LASU there in 1984.

Hopefully Governor Fayemi can have this done quickly and also it can help in improving the quality in our country. Education should not have any religious undertone in a multi religious society like ours otherwise we will remain where we are today.

No sir! With regards to Jakande, your facts are wrong. Afternoon sessions in secondary schools in Lagos state, had been the norm long before Jakande came into power in 1979.

It was in a bid to stop it, that he built the temporary classrooms known as Jakande schools in 1979-1983.

He wanted to increase access to education for all school pupils, as free education was one of the cardinal policies of the old UPN party, he represented.

Educationists and psychologists believed the attention span of children who attended the afternoon sessions, were negatively affected by the length of time they spent getting to school, during the hot afternoon.

Don't forget that in those days before Jakande got into power in Lagos state, morning classes ran from 8a.m to 1p.m, while afternoon classes started at 2p.m and ended at 6 to 7p.m. Concerns about the safety and security of school kids were also high. The burden on teachers was also huge.

Jakande stopped the afternoon sessions, and made sure all schools in Lagos state ran a comprehensive morning session, simultaneously. It was in a bid to also ensure that all existing students in the afternoon schools could have a space for taking lectures in the morning, that he set up those Jakande schools in rapid succession.

Their designs were pedestrian and utilitarian.

Gbolahan Mudashiru an Airforce officer took over from him, when the Buhari administration came into power in 1984, renovated those Jakande schools and temporary classrooms, to a better standard.

It was his tenure that founded singular school system and quality free education in the state. However, those who benefitted from this policy are currently holding key positions in every part of the country and world at large.

It was Jakande’s government that increased the Lagos state primary schools to 812 consisting of 533,001 pupils contrary to the 605 primary schools with 434,545 pupils he met in power.

Secondary schools were also increased from 105 schools with 107,885 students to 223 schools and 167,629 students.

11,729 classrooms were constructed with forty children maximum per class between March and August 1980 in his government.

Afterwards, he had built more than 22,000 classrooms by 1983. https://naijauto.com/market-news/lateef-jakande-contributions-to-lagos-3571

You have the right to hate Aregbesola but you don't have the right to be spreading falsehoods and misinforming the readers on this forum.

The Federal MILITARY Government under Gen Murtalar Muhammed acquired ALL Schools in Nigeria in 1976 to serve as platforms for delivering it's UPE and other educational policies.

Although he failed in other areas, Aregbesola's educational policy reconstructed and renovated Schools in Osun State more than any administration.

Thank you for that info about Murtala Muhammed's acquisition of all schools, in 1976.

You see the Military elites (including Murtalar Muhammed) were not adequately prepared for leadership.
They thought they were the most patriotic citizens ,they made so many blunders which are the basis of Today's ethnic tensions and economic stagnation.
