Meanwhile, the Chairman also monitored the ongoing Unified examination in all public primary schools in the State, saying that the essence of the monitoring exercise was to ensure that quality returned to the education system in the State.


He maintained that the present administration under Governor Seyi Makinde has strengthened the unified examination so as to nurture the pupils from the scratch, saying the effort would go a long way in curbing poor performance in external examinations by pupils.

“This Government has paid for the unified examination for public primary schools in the state, which the past administration rested its responsibilities on the shoulders of the parents. With this exam, we can know the competence level of each pupil we nurture and know how to help them,” he said.
