Parents and guardians have been advised to effectively monitor their wards in order to compliment teachers’ efforts towards instilling education and moral values in them.
The executive chairman, Ibadan North West, Alhaji Rahman Adepoju gave the advice during the final stage of the 2022 Schools Challenge quiz competition for public primary schools at the local government secretariat, Onireke, Ibadan.
Alhaji Adepoju, who pointed out that the programme which was a follow up to the distribution of exercise books and compendium to primary school pupils last year, said the event was to prepare the primary school pupils for future challenges.
Alhaji Adepoju explained that the quiz competition would be extended to include private primary schools across the local government in line with the educational policy of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration, calling on teachers to justify good gestures to the education sector in the state.
In a motivational speech, an actress and cultural ambassador, Mrs Toyin Adegbola advised pupils to keep good company, focus on their studies and be determined to become great in life, while calling on parents to speak Yoruba language to their children as a way of promoting culture.
In another presentation, a retired teacher, Mrs Alice Arowodasa encouraged parents not to relent in their efforts to ensure good children upbringing and commended Alhaji Adepoju’s initiative to showcase competitive spirit in students for excellence.
