The Ogun State Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM, says it has embarked on deliberate and bold transformative reforms to strengthen the Commission and improve quality education, aligning with the Abiodun-led administration’s agenda.
Chairman of the Commission, Biodun Sanyaolu, disclosed this on Monday at a two-day workshop in Abeokuta with the theme, “One Vision, One Team: Driving Excellence Through Unified Leadership and Management.” The event, organised by the Commission, had 500 participants comprising principals, vice principals, and teachers selected from public secondary schools across the state. Sanyaolu explained that the agency had undergone one of the most comprehensive transformative phases in its history, noting that it has commenced a structured redistribution policy to ensure equitable deployment of teachers. The TESCOM boss said that over the years, many teachers had remained in a single school for extended periods, and in some cases for decades, noting that their prolonged stay had posed a significant imbalance, with some schools being overstaffed while others face serious shortages. “The development has affected fairness, performance, and equity in the state educational system,” he added. He announced plans to realign and strengthen the Zonal Secretary’s Office to enhance supervision, monitoring, and coordination between TESCOM headquarters and principals, noting that prospective Principals-General would be selected from existing Zonal Secretaries, thereby improving accountability, communication, and oversight at the zonal level. Speaking on the theme of the workshop, the lead facilitator, a former Vice Chancellor of Tai Solarin University of Education, Professor Olukayode Oyesiku, represented by Professor Bayo Akinsanya, said it resonated deeply with the challenges and opportunities in the education sector. Oyesiku, who commended TESCOM for its thoughtful initiative, opined that when leaders are unified, it would impact students, communities, and the state, assuring of the facilitators’ commitment to supporting educators.
