by LASUBEB Publicity unit | February 28th 2022

The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board met with the delegates of the Universal Basic Education Commission during the 2nd Quarterly Nationwide Monitoring of Y2020/2021 Federal Teachers Scheme.

Federal Teachers Scheme is an intervention of the Federal Government to support school services across states. The scheme affords interested teachers the opportunity to teach in Public Schools for two years.

At the meeting, the Executive Chairman LASUBEB, Hon. Wahab Alawiye-King appreciated UBEC on the various interventions provided for basic education in the state.

He noted that “education is a social good, the demand outweighs the supply, therefore, there must be interventions from time to time.

However, if these interventions are not properly monitored, it may lead to chaos in the system. We thank you for the interventions you have been providing.”

Alawiye-King stated that the Board has a special way of employing teachers who are not only academically sound but professionally qualified for teaching, adding that the federal teachers are equally giving priority during public primary school teachers recruitment in Lagos State.

The Executive Secretary UBEC, Dr. Hamid Bobboyi who led the team from Abuja, stated that the meeting is to address the challenges facing the scheme and also exchange ideas on the sustainability of programme.

He commended the Lagos State government on its innovative Programmes and interventions which has contributed immensely to the development of basic education in the state.

While exchanging ideas and experiences with the beneficiaries and headteachers of public primary schools, Bobboyi commended the 99 beneficiaries of the 6th set of the scheme, for their exemplary performance and effective contributions in the four corners of the learning environment, noting that Lagos state has always been a pacesetter amongst others.

He urged the teachers not to rest on their oars and promise to provide solutions to some of the challenges outlined in the session.

Towards the sustenance of a safe learning environment, the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) engaged in a strategic session with the management of the Lagos State Planning and Environmental Monitoring Agency (LASPEMA) in order to sanitize setbacks and incidental open spaces in Public Primary Schools during a courtesy visit to the Board. https://lasubeb.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/News/lasubeb_laspema_2.jpg At the meeting, Hon. Wahab Alawiye-King, Executive Chairman, LASUBEB commended the agency's efforts in maintaining compliance in accordance with the state's environmental plan and its seamless drive in the actualization of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu’s T.H.E.M.E.S agenda. https://lasubeb.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/News/lasubeb_laspema_3.jpg He noted that the infractions on setbacks and incidental open spaces is becoming alarming adding that the Board frowns at such encroachment and would soon commence enforcement exercise to dislodge illegal informal operators occupying the setbacks. saying, that such activities will hinder teaching and learning in the academic environment. Alawiye-King emphasized on the misuse of setbacks in schools and indiscriminate construction of shanties on open spaces which would no longer be tolerated. https://lasubeb.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/News/lasubeb_laspema_4.jpg General Manager LASPEMA, Town Planner Daisi Oso stated that all foms of criminal activities take place on setbacks and incidental open spaces, which are threats to the wellbeing of the pupils and teachers in the learning environment. Oso reiterated that LASPEMA is the agency saddled with the statutory responsibility to plan, supervise and designate setbacks for use in the State. He noted that LASPEMA is ready to collaborate with the Board in strategizing a model for landscaping around the school walls, creative paintings on the walls to improve the aesthetics as well as create a secured environment by ensuring closed circuit television is installed around the setbacks for surveillance purposes. https://lasubeb.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/News/lasubeb_laspema_5.jpg At the end of the strategic meeting, a five-man Committee was constituted comprising members from LASPEMA and LASUBEB charged with the responsibility of developing a model to facilitate the synergized visions with other MDAs of the State Government who have similar mandates.
