Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has approved the release of the long-awaited promotion letters for 8,476 primary and junior secondary school teachers across the state’s 18 local government areas.
“It is the commitment of Governor Monday Okpebholo to ensure that every teacher receives the recognition he or she deserves. By directing the release of these promotion letters, Governor Okpebholo is not only acknowledging their hard work but also taking a firm step towards enhancing the overall quality of education in Edo State,” Executive Chairman of Edo State Universal Basic Education (Edo-SUBEB), Mrs Onomen Goodness Briggs, said while announcing the approval.
She expressed her gratitude to Governor Okpebholo, saying, “Governor Okpebholo’s proactive approach has breathed new life into the basic education sector. Our collaborative efforts are geared towards a comprehensive reform that prioritises our educators and, ultimately, our students.”
The initiative, covering promotions from 2022 to January 2024, is expected to reinvigorate the morale of the teaching community, where performance had been hampered by prolonged stagnation in career advancement.
Stakeholders have welcomed the move, anticipating that improved teachers’ satisfaction will lead to better classroom outcomes and a more dynamic educational environment.
“This bold action underscores Governor Okpebholo’s dedication to transforming the education sector and ensuring that past administrative delays do not impede progress. As his administration continues to roll out reforms, this directive serves as a clear indicator of his resolve to address systemic challenges and deliver tangible results within his first 100 days in office,” the SUBEB Chairman added.
