The executive chairman, Oyo state Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Dr Nureni Adeniran, on Friday said the board had trained 2,454 headteachers in the state on Coronavirus (COVID-19) preventive measures.
According to him, the training was held between Tuesday, 8 September 2020, and Thursday, 10 September 2020, across all education zones in the state.
Adeniran said, “the training is complementing Oyo state government’s efforts in containing the spread of COVID-19 pandemic as the state government had earlier organised and funded the training of school administrators on COVID-19 preventive measures for both primary and secondary school teachers.”
He said the state government’s zeal “is to prepare headteachers for a safe and hitch-free re-opening of schools and learning facilities, while it takes into consideration the health, safety, environmental protection and security of learners, teachers, education personnel and families.”
