Speaking during a verification tour of the 21 local government areas implementing BESDA in the state, the Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran applauded the new development.
He said, it was the kind of testimonial for both the teachers and government, as the learners have been assessed before enrolment into the formal schools. “This is a big plus for us in Oyo State. It shows that BESDA is working for us. Though we do not have the actual figure yet, some non-formal learning centres we visited in certain local governments affirmed that some of their learners have been mainstreamed”, Adeniran boasted.
He said it was the aim of the state government that the majority of the learners undergoing non-formal education, gain admission into primary schools. He thanked the teachers, who work to teach the students basic education, adding that their roles have bridged the gap between the non-formal learners and children in the formal learning centres.
