Ukah, in suit during his visit to schools in Asaba.. |
The Delta State
Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Chief Patrick Ukah, has called
on parents in the state to ensure that they allow their children resume
immediately for the 2019/2020 academic session so that academic activities can
kickstart fully.
The commissioner
made the call when he monitored the resumption of schools for the 2019/2020
academic session in schools in Asaba yesterday (09/09/2019).
Chief Ukah, who
decried the low turnout of students in the schools he visited, urged the students
to resume as there would be a welcome back test on Thursday this week which
would make up 10 Percent of their continuous assessment for the term.
At Government
Model Secondary School, Asaba, the commissioner frowned at the untidy
environment of the school and ordered the Principal of the school to
ensure that the school is kept tidy before the end of yesterday.
He warned against
illegal collection of unauthorized levies from incoming students while stating
that any Principal or School Head caught would be severely punished.
The commissioner
also visited Osadenis Mixed Secondary School, Asaba, where he urged the
staff of the school to be committed to their duties at all times as the
ministry would no longer tolerate any form of indiscipline among them.
He said as
teachers, they should strive to impact positively on the lives of their
students which he said would bring about fulfillment in their careers as
teachers.
The commissioner
charged the Principal of the school to ensure that he devised means in
which he could curb indiscipline in the school.
Other schools
visited by the commissioner were Uziogwe Primary School, West End Mixed
Secondary School, Zappa Basic Secondary School, Zappa Primary School, Isioma
Onyeobi College, and Zappa Mixed Secondary School within the Asaba Capital
Territory.
He equally
visited two newly established secondary schools located in Oduke community and
FSP, Asaba where he said that the schools would start up this week.
