The Oyo State Government has announced plans to reintroduce the open-day system in public primary schools across the State.

Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Nureni Adeniran said this during his State-wide interactive session with Head-teachers, recently.

Dr Adeniran opined that Open-day, when introduced will give parents an opportunity to visit their children in schools, where they would get first-hand insights into their children’s performance and speak to their teachers on how to further improve those children.

He noted that the state government will also employ more strategies as part of measures to complement its absolute commitment to improve the basic education sector.

Speaking further, Adeniran added that the reintroduced system would be an improved adaptation of the moribund open-day, for it would make parents more responsible towards their children in public schools.

“We will reintroduce Open-day system back to our public schools, because we realized that this would complement Governor Seyi Makinde’s free education policy. Parents need to be responsible for their children’s progress in schools”, he said.

He added emphatically that, “One of the things Oyo State Government has done, is to improve the standard of education system.”
