The Kwara State Government has taken a bold step to reconstruct the dilapidated Adeta B- Local Government Education (LGEA) Primary School in Adeta into a standard structure.
Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant (SSA) and New Media, Olayinka Fafoluyi, said the demolished school is set to join the ranks of well-structured educational facilities in Kwara State.
Describing the state of the school, Fafoluyi revealed that most of the classrooms at primary school have “fallen into disrepair, failing to provide a conducive learning environment for students.”
He further noted in the document that severely affected classrooms have been pulled down for upgrading.
Acknowledging the move as the first of its kind, the state government aims to prioritise education, along with other investments across the state.
Recounting his achievement, Governor Abdulrazaq has focused on constructing and renovating hundreds of dilapidated school facilities and recruited more than 5,000 qualified teachers.
Additionally, he announced that the e-learning platform known as the KwaraLearn initiative has equipped teachers with tablets with educational programme noting the drastic improvement among Kwara students.
Highlighting the benefit of the e-learning platform, Fafoluyi said most students have benefitted from the platform and participated in international competitions.
“The KwaraLearn initiative which equips teachers with tablets containing standardized curricula, along with other educational programs, has not only enhanced the state’s educational system but has also led to Kwara students representing the country in international competitions, ” Fafoluyi said.
