"Part of what we have come here to do is to look at the learning environment, learning space, teaching and learning facilities, teachers' welfare, teachers' training and retraining. In the course of this tour, we have met with the pupils and the teachers and it is good to tell you that Osun teachers are very happy. He  Concluded .

Virtually all the public schools in the three senatorial districts of the state were randomly selected and visited ,a development  which  afforded the visitors the opportunity to have a thorough on the spot assessment of the schools in Osun.
