BOLA BAMIGBOLA writes on reversal of some policies of a\nformer Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, by his successor, Gboyega\nOyetola<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cordial relationship that existed between Governor\nGboyega Oyetola of Osun State and his predecessor, Rauf Aregbesola, has\nobviously gone sour. This became more evident at the dawn of 2020 but\nAregbesola and his former chief of staff have been managing to keep this from\nthe glare of the public, despite their followers having constantly clashed at\ndifferent venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reversal of some policies introduced by Aregbesola\neducational in the state has further threatened the relative peace between the\ncamps of the ex-governor, who is now the Minister of Interior, and the\nincumbent governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aregbesola\u2019s loyalists are of the opinion that the policies\nwere reversed not necessarily because they failed to achieve the desired result\nas claimed by Oyetola\u2019s government. But they believe the incumbent governor\nonly used his cabinet to push through part of his plans to gradually erode\nAregbesola\u2019s legacies in a bid to cement his hold on to power. Before\nannouncing the decision to stop reclassification, merger and single uniform for\nall public schools, among others, it was not hidden that some of the policies\nmight not survive for many more days, after a Prof Olu Aina-led committee of\nexperts put in place by Oyetola to review education policies of Aregbesola\u2019s\nadministration passed a death verdict on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disclosing the decision of the cabinet to journalists after\nthe State Executive Council meeting of March 2, the state\u2019s Commissioner for\nInformation and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode, said the council unanimously\nagreed that nine of the policies be upturned straightaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opon Imo (tablet computer), the only policy that survived the\npurge, Egbemode said, would be repackaged and reintroduced to schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, during the press briefing, the Chief Press Secretary\nto the Governor, Ismail Omipidan, pleaded with journalists to refrain from\npresenting the incident as an action aimed at the former governor but as a step\ntaken, following demands of the people backed by advice from experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
However, the reversal is considered in some quarters as an\nindictment by Oyetola, who was declared as the \u2018engine room\u2019 of Aregbesola\u2019s\nadministration by the former governor and others that were in the previous\ncabinet and are still in the SEC presently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oyetola, while receiving the report of the Policy Review\nRoundtable on some extant policies in the education sector of the state, on\nFebruary 24, had offered explanations as to why the government considered\nreviewing some of the policies of his predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor said, \u201cAs a government, our policies and\nprogrammes are driven by citizens\u2019 needs. These needs, which were further\nvalidated by the United Kingdom Department for International Development-funded\nCitizens Needs Assessment exercise in Osun, were harvested during the Thank You\nTour\/Town Hall Meetings, where the people told us in plain language that they\nwanted some aspects of our educational policies removed, adjusted or improved\nupon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat was what led to the Policy Review Roundtable Summit,\nthe report of which we are receiving today. We are prepared to do what will\nimprove the lots of our people and protect the future of our children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the Commissioner for Local Government and\nChieftaincy Affairs in Aregbesola\u2019s cabinet, Kolapo Alimi, during an appearance\non a radio programme, Frank Talk, monitored in Osogbo, said, even with the\nintroduction of the policies in 2012, Aregbesola still won the 2014\ngovernorship election \u201coverwhelmingly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cWe\nintroduced the uniforms in 2012 and had an election in 2014. The parents of the\npoor students were the ones who voted Aregbesola and we led by over 100,000\nvotes. But most of the people castigating this single-uniform policy are the\nones that will not send their children to those government schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aligning himself with Alimi\u2019s argument, an Osogbo-based\nlawyer, Chief AbdulFatai Abdulsalam, while commenting on the issue, faulted\nclaims that people\u2019s demand was the reason behind the reversal of the policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The legal practitioner, who was of the opinion that Oyetola\nand others presently in the cabinet were also part of the team that fashioned\nout and implemented the policies, said there might be other considerations not\nknown to the public behind what he described as the startling reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Describing all the policies introduced by Aregbesola in the\neducation sector as products of well-thought-out research meant to address certain\nissues affecting teaching and learning in public schools, Abdulsalam said the\nreversal would erode the gains already recorded in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cI am\ndisappointed. The reversal of the policy is an indication that the government\ndoes not have a direction or focus. Those educational policies that were\nreversed are products of research and critical thinking. It is not all the\npolicies of the past government that are laudable. But all the policies that\nwere reversed have fundamental reasons that brought them into being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEach of those policies has something that it was meant to\nprotect. For the present government to now come around and set up a review\npanel and get it reversed is wrong; the present administration has acted\nwrongly in this instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGovernance is about continuity and growth. You have to work\non the previous policies for advancement. Those previous policies were\nformulated to cater for certain issues. For example, the single school uniform\npolicy; there was a reason for its introduction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the policy was introduced because the students were\nwearing tattered uniforms to school. He added that a common uniform was then\nmass-produced for the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lawyer said, \u201cThere was a reason for the\nreclassification of schools and slight change in the name of schools, too. Many\npublic school students are indigent. Children of most of the elite are not\nthere. The reclassification of schools was to bring all together under one\nschool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the reclassification, all students on school feeding\nfrom Primary 1 to 4 were brought together. Before reclassification, Aregbesola\nobserved that feeding some pupils while others were left out was causing a\npsychological problem for some pupils, as some of them even preferred to stay\nput within classes that were being fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn order to get rid of that, the past administration had to\ncome up with the reclassification, which took those pupils in Primaries 5 and 6\nto middle schools. Before implementing the initiative, the Aregbesola\ngovernment consulted the National School Board in Abuja and got an approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe present governor and many others that are in the\npresent cabinet were part of the past administration and they all contributed\nto the development of the policies and their implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Policy reversal should not be politicised \u2014PTA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Offering a completely different perspective to the matter,\nthe National Public Relations Officer, Parent-Teacher Association, Dr Ademola\nEkundayo, who was Osun State chairman, PTA, when the said policies were\nintroduced in 2012, said parents were engaged when the policies were to be\nimplemented by Aregbesola administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ekundayo stated that the association was not fully engaged\nin the processes leading to the reversal of the policies. He, however, said PTA\nas a group did not fully support some of the policies when Aregbesola\nintroduced them in 2012 and urged stakeholders not to politicise the reversal\nin the interest of the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The PTA spokesman said, \u201cI don\u2019t want them to politicise it\nbecause education should never be politicised. First and foremost, we parents\nwere not carried along in the process leading to the reversal. It is true that\nmany people are against the merger and single uniform, as well as the change\nfrom 6-3-3-4 to 4-5-3-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cComing back to 6-3-3-4 is a welcome idea, but the issue\nthat parents have with the so-called free education is that it is not holistic,\nbecause when you are giving free education devoid of any tuition and the basic\ntextbooks are not provided, it will amount to nothing. Opon Imo is not a\nsubstitute for textbook.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ekundayo explained that in schools, ordinary literature\ntexts were not available; adding that if things continued in that way, the\ngovernment of the day would be promoted at the expense of the \u201cdeclining value\nin education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added, \u201cThe reversal will restore sanity to our schools\nand any student that misbehaves will be properly identified and each school\nprincipal will be able to identify their students. It is a welcome idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut to implement the policies, government needs support of\nparents because they have to prepare to buy new sets of uniform for their\nchildren. The government and parents need to deliberate on it because the\ngovernment cannot do it alone. We were not involved in the process of\nreversal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reversal not targeted at Aregbesola \u2014Oyetola\u2019s aide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the Commissioner for Political Affairs and\nIntergovernmental Relations, Taiwo Akeju, insisted that the reversal was not\ntargeted at Aregbesola but was in response to popular demand by the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the reversal was what the people wanted, adding that\nAregbesola\u2019s place in Osun\u2019s history remained secure, even with the reversal of\nsome of his policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
According to Akeju, the reversal to 6-3-3-4 was as a result\nof the demands of the people, while some of the policies by the past\nadministration like \u2018Opon Imo\u2019 tablet had been retained and would be\nstrengthened because there was a need for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe reversal of some policies was not aimed at eroding\nOgbeni Aregbesola\u2019s legacies as governor, because he has achieved great feats\nin terms of infrastructural development in Osun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is no crisis at all. The reversal is just what the\npeople want and it was a unanimous decision that the cabinet came up with.\nEminent personalities like Prof Olu Aina, Gen. Alani Akinrinade (retd.) and\nothers sat on the panel that made the recommendations for us,\u201d Akeju added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why we supported the reversal \u2014NUT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leadership of Nigerian Union of Teachers in Osun told\nour correspondent that the reversal did not just happen, but occurred following\nsuggestions by the review panel inaugurated by the governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state Secretary of the union, Olukayode Salami, told our\ncorrespondent that teachers were represented in the panel that recommended the\nreversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salami insisted that the single-uniform policy had caused a\nlot of crises within the school community and maintained that school uniform,\nas a source of identification, must not be the same in all public schools in\nthe state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cThe 4-5-3-4 policy has been welcomed and tried but\nas a result of anomalies and discrepancies discovered, we then called for its\nreversal to 6-3-3-4 and the return to the recommendations of National Policy on\nEducation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSchool merger as a policy has caused a lot of troubles for\nour students, as some of them that are male were sent to a school establish for\nonly girls. Some male students are today carrying SSCE results obtained from\ngirls schools. To stop having situations like this one, there should be a\nreview of the policies. It\u2019s just a review, not a total end for the policies.\nTeachers are fully in support of government action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not clear if the reversal will open the floodgate for\nreversal of more actions taken by Aregbesola while in office. The days ahead\nwill also determine if the relationship between the minister and his former\naide is actually cordial as their supporters will want people to believe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
