Governor of Osun State Gboyega Oyetola has instructed principals and heads of public elementary schools to revert to the old names of their various schools before the reclassification which was implemented by the past administration of Rauf Aregbesola.
In a circular dated August 27 and signed by Taiwo Adeagbo for the coordinating director, State Ministry of Education contained the directive.
The circular recalled approval given to the recommendations of the policy review roundtable summit on some extant policies in the education sector held in February and directed the affected officials to immediately comply with the directive.
The circular read in part: “Recall that at the policy review roundtable summit on some extant policies in Education Sector held between 20 and 21 of February 2020, His Excellency, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola approved that Schools should revert to their pre-reclassification names and nomenclatures.
“Sequel to the above, all schools are hereby directed to revert to their old names with immediate effect as approved by the Osun State Government.”
