TRACKING____The Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has approved the reversal of the state’s Teachers Establishment and Pensions Office (TEPO) to the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM).
This notice for the reversal was contained in a public service announcement signed by the Coordinating Director of the Osun State Ministry of Education, Mrs. C. K. Olaniyan, and made available to DAILY POST.
The announcement stated that the reversal was in continuation of the policy and institutional reform ongoing in the education sector of the state.
It added that TESCOM is the constitutional and original name noting that the name reversal takes immediate effect.
As part of the education reform policy of the Rauf Aregbesola administration, TESCOM was changed to TEPO which enabled the administration to hire and cater for the welfare of teaching staff within the secondary school sector of the state.
In line with this, Aregbesola had created three education districts in each of the three senatorial zones of the state with each headed by a Tutor General/ Permanent Secretary overseeing them.
Tracknews reports that as part of the education policy of Oyetola, his administration had embarked on the reclassification of public schools from elementary, middle and high school to primary, junior and senior secondary school.
Also, the administration had reverted the uniforms of public schools from the single uniform policy that was obtainable under the Aregbesola administration.
