Kwara abolishes PTA levy in public schools, introduces annual grants

Chairman of the State universal basic education board (SUBEB), Prof. Shehu Adaramaja, announced this during the opening of bids for the 2024 third and fourth quarters of the UBEC/SUBEB intervention projects in Ilorin.

He explained that the new policy will ease the financial burden on parents while ensuring that every school receives direct government support for its operations. “The state government will now provide running costs for all 1,717 public primary schools in Kwara State,” he said.

Speaking on the ongoing intervention projects, Prof. Adaramaja stated that the initiative includes the construction of classroom blocks with offices and toilets, remodeling and renovation of old classrooms, drilling of solar-powered boreholes, rehabilitation of digital literacy centers, and procurement of foundation literacy materials.

Other components, he added, include the fabrication and distribution of two-seater pupils’ furniture and the implementation of the Safe Schools Initiative in selected local government areas.

He further disclosed that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq had approved the payment of the 2025 counterpart funds for UBEC/SUBEB intervention projects.

The chairman also cautioned contractors responsible for the projects to adhere strictly to specifications, warning that the government would not tolerate substandard work.

Gov Oyebanji approves new retirement age, service extension for Ekiti teachers

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has approved an immediate extension of the retirement age for teachers from 60 to 65 years, while also increasing their years of service from 35 to 40.

The governor made the announcement on Sunday during the 2025 World Teachers’ Day celebration held at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti.

As part of efforts to reward dedication and excellence in the teaching profession, Oyebanji also distributed cash prizes worth N46 million to outstanding teachers across the state.

He explained that the extension of the retirement age and years of service is a strategic move to retain experienced hands in the classroom and strengthen the state’s education sector.

A special committee, he noted, would be set up to oversee the implementation process, ensuring that only teachers who are physically and mentally fit would benefit from the new policy.

The governor also announced an upward review of allowances for Science Teachers and Heads of Departments, along with the immediate payment of outstanding 2019 leave bonus arrears.

“Teachers are the foundation upon which the future of our state is built. This initiative is part of our shared prosperity agenda to enhance their welfare and motivate them to continue shaping the next generation,” Oyebanji said.
