He affirmed that even though students have been paying P. T. A and government levies which are meant for minor infrastructural development and conduction of end of the term examinations among others, there are more to do in the schools to make it conducive for teaching and learning.

“Facilities such as laboratories, libraries, health centers among others, need to be put in place  in schools to achieve the set goals in the education sector”, he stated.

He maintained that if schools environments are conducive, education will be enhanced, while government will be able to employ more teachers.
