The Ondo state Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Secondary schools (ASUSS), Comrade Dayo Adebiyi has enumerated some of the requests and challenges confronting the system in the state.

This is just as a Principal from Ondo state, Alhaji Arogundade Suleiman Jimoh, has emerged the 2019 Best Principal of Secondary school in Nigeria

Arogundade who is the Principal of Oroke High School, Akungba Akoko in Ondo State, was decorated in Abuja at an occasion to celebrate this year’s World Teacher’s day.

Speaking earlier on this year’s theme of Teacher’s Day, “Young Teachers: Future of the Profession”, the Ondo state Chairman of ASUSS, Comrade Dayo Adebiyi lamented that shortage of manpower in the secondary schools in the state was not good for education development of the state.

Adebiyi confirmed that, “the man that would be given the award and decorated with the 2019 best Principal of secondary school is Alhaji Arogundade Suleiman Jimoh, the Principal, Oroke High School, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State. We rejoice with this devoted member of ASUSS who is being identified for National recognition.

The ASUSS chairman noted that “employment of More Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff: The daily disengagement of personnel from the teaching service of Ondo State ‘is taking its toll on classroom delivery and other essential services like security in our secondary schools. We, therefore, call on the government of Ondo State to recruit more teachers and security guards in our schools.

Adebiyi opined that “all our members are tired of having to keep paying to TRCN without receiving any service from the organization for instance, many of our members have certificates of registration and professional licence for which they have paid. Seminar and workshop which the council promised to organize for them have never for once been done.

The TRCN must wake up and start doing the needful now.”

Congratulations
