The Ekiti State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has promoted 6,129 staff members in public secondary schools. These include both teaching and non-teaching staff.
Mrs. Rhoda Ojo, the Chairperson of TESCOM, said that these staff members passed the 2022/2023 promotion exercise. The announcement was made in Ado Ekiti during a special meeting for school staff.
According to a statement from the commission, promotion letters have already been sent out.
- 5,669 of those promoted are teachers.
- 460 are non-teaching staff.
Mrs. Ojo said she was happy that earlier issues that delayed promotions had been settled. She encouraged all teachers and school staff to continue working hard and remain dedicated to their jobs.
Teachers Should Work Harder
The TESCOM chairperson urged promoted staff to show gratitude by working harder. She encouraged school principals to manage their schools properly and ensure discipline among students.
She made it clear that:
- The government will not allow violence, hooliganism, or bad behavior in schools.
- Teachers who do not perform well may face consequences.
- Principals and teachers who do great work will be rewarded.
- The education system must continue improving to benefit students.
She reminded teachers that the state government is committed to their welfare. However, they must also play their part by being diligent and committed to their duties.
Government Support for Education
The Permanent Secretary of TESCOM, Mr. Michael Boluwade, also spoke about the issue. He advised school principals to prevent teachers from asking for transfers in the middle of the school year. He said that such transfers could negatively affect students’ learning and overall academic performance.
He assured that the government will continue to take care of teachers and staff. The goal is to improve productivity and ensure that students perform well.
Boluwade stressed that the welfare of teachers and non-teaching staff remains a priority for the government. He mentioned that promotions like this are part of the efforts to motivate teachers and encourage excellence in the education sector.
Why Promotions Matter
Promotions are important in any organization, including the education sector. When teachers and staff are promoted, it serves as motivation for them to continue doing their jobs well.
Here are some benefits of promotions:
- Encourages Hard Work: Teachers who see their colleagues getting promoted will also want to work hard to receive the same recognition.
- Boosts Morale: A motivated teacher is more likely to perform better in the classroom, helping students learn more effectively.
- Improves Education Quality: When teachers feel valued, they put more effort into their work, leading to better student performance.
- Retains Experienced Teachers: When teachers are promoted and rewarded, they are more likely to remain in the profession rather than look for jobs elsewhere.
Commitment to Discipline in Schools
Education is not just about teaching students; it also involves discipline and character building. The government has made it clear that they will not tolerate any form of violence, hooliganism, or indiscipline in schools.
The TESCOM Chairperson and the Permanent Secretary both emphasized the need for schools to be safe and well-managed. Principals and teachers are expected to ensure that students obey school rules and maintain order at all times.
Additionally, the government will take strict actions against teachers who fail to perform their duties. Indolence and laziness will not be tolerated, as every staff member is expected to contribute positively to the growth of the education system.
Conclusion
The promotion of 6,129 teachers and school staff in Ekiti State is a significant step towards improving education in the region. It is a recognition of hard work and dedication by those in the education sector.
The government expects these staff members to work even harder and contribute to the academic success of students. At the same time, the government remains committed to supporting teachers by ensuring their welfare and recognizing excellence in the field of education.
With the right policies in place, Ekiti State can continue to strengthen its education system, ensuring that students receive the best possible learning experience in a safe and disciplined environment.
