Primary School teachers in Osun State have been charged to give their support to the development of the education sector through efficient delivery of their duties.

This is just as the State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola and the Authorities of Universal Basic Education Commission, Abuja were commended for their unrelenting efforts at developing primary School teachers’ capacity.

Executive Chairman, Osun State Universal Basic Education Board, Ajibola Famurewa stated these while declaring open the second phase of 5-day school based training workshop for selected primary school teachers across the state in Osogbo.

The programme was organized by the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) in collaboration with Osun State Universal Basic Education Board.
