The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said the government will begin the prosecution of parents and guardians of out-of-school children in the state.

Making a strong case for citizens’ participation in governance to ensure the sustainability of all ongoing reforms and policies, Obaseki said, “I am not worried about sustainability; it is you that will sustain what we are doing. So, with the right citizens’ participation, we can sustain the reforms that we have started. It is not an Obaseki reform, it’s an Edo reform.”

He continued, “We have to ask ourselves, must we continue with this culture of certificates? Because that is what is driving the issue of miracle centers; people are just after the certificate. A certificate is supposed to be evidence of learning; a certificate that is not backed by knowledge is not worth it.

“So, how do we, as a people, begin to lay less emphasis on degrees, and more emphasis on the outcome of learning? “I think it is this penchant for degrees and certificates that is driving the problem. Now, we have so many people with degrees and no work.” Earlier, the state Commissioner for Education, Joan Osa-Oviawe, in her presentation, said as part of ongoing reforms in the education sector, over 2000 teachers have been recruited and trained on technology, innovative teaching and learning techniques at primary and junior secondary schoolsAll rights reserved.
