“The government has built mega schools that have the capacity of taking 1,000 students in the urban centres like Ilesha, Osogbo, Ife, Iwo and other locations for easy enrollment of students from the larger population.

“Similarly, schools that can take up to 500 and 400 students, 50 students per class, were also built across the state, especially in rural and semi-rural areas, according to the population of these communities.

“The state government had also rehabilitated and renovated a large number of schools across the state and in adherence to UNESCO standard, teachers in these schools are in the ratio of one teacher to 25 students,” he said.

He also said ICT rooms with 20 to 50 computers were created in these schools, while working materials, furniture, diaries and registers were equally supplied to the schools.
