We were indeed alarmed after our inauguration that less than five per cent of secondary school leavers in Osun had the requisite pass for matriculation into tertiary institutions. Teachers were demoralised, the school environment was unfit for animals and the pupils were growing wild. We immediately held a summit on education with participants including stakeholders like Prof Wole Soyinka. We are not just redefining the learning environment, we are now redefining education as the development of the total man spiritually, morally and intellectually, a man whose development must cohere with the development of his environment and fellow men. Thus, we are building brand new 13 elementary schools, 14 middle schools and 12 high schools and so far we have committed N14.4 billion to it. -Gov Aregbesola, while speaking at the ICPC Good Governance Forum, Abuja on Tuesday
