SUBEB Model Nursery and Primary School, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, has been rated the best primary school in the country.
The school was adjudged best in the primary school category by the award committee of the 2012 President’s Teachers and Schools’ Excellence Award during the World Teachers’ Day celebration held at the Eagle’s Square, Abuja.
The Minister of Education, Prof. Rukayat Rufai, who presented the award to the Head Teacher of the school, Mrs. Taiwo Ala, showered praises on the state and challenged other schools to brace up in their academic pursuit.
Also, a teacher of St. John’s Primary School, Erinmope- Ekiti, Mrs. Oluwafemi Olusola, was awarded the Third Best Primary School Teacher in the country in the teachers’ category of the award.
Speaking on the award in her office in Ado-Ekiti, the Executive Chairman, State Universal Basic Education Board, Prof. Modupe Adelabu, attributed the achievement to God and the commitment of the present administration towards revamping the lost glory of education in the state through aggressive upgrading of school infrastructure as well as the provision of teaching and instructional materials in all schools across the state.
According to the Adelabu, the quality of facilities available in schools across the state has improved compared to what they were before the advent of the Governor Kayode Fayemi-led administration.
She urged parents to enrol their children in public schools because the facilities in most of the schools have been upgraded to meet the challenges of modern teaching and learning.
Adelabu, who commended Olusola, urged her not to relent in her effort but continue to strive harder towards achieving the best.
Ala said she was fulfilled as an educationist whose school was recognised by the Federal Government as the best in the country.
Ala therefore called on parents to join hands with the government by investing more in the education of their children, stressing that collaboration with government to improve the education sector was the only way to inculcate the right attitude and virtues in the next generation as well as preserve the future of the leaders of tomorrow.
