According to him, it is clear from recent empirical findings that the standard of education in the South East is falling irretrievably and needs urgent attention from all – public and private.

“Public schools are almost a thing of the past, with dilapidated structures, de-motivated, untrained and unqualified workforce. Whereas most parents feel comfortable sending their children to private schools, it is evident that, due to poor monitoring and evaluation, private schools may be worse than the almost dead public schools.

“We need to wake up from our deep sleep, develop new policies and approaches to address these challenges facing the education sector in the South-East. For the zone to create globally competitive youths who will transform the region; the South-East, should, as an emergency, rethink and redesign her education strategy. The zone urgently needs reforms in education,’’ Uba said.
