PLANS are underway by the Oyo State government to establish model technical colleges beginning from 2021 as part of efforts to improve technical education. A new curriculum will also be developed to improve learning in public primary schools across the state. The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr Olasunkanmi Olaleye, gave the hint about the proposed model technical colleges in Ibadan last week Wednesday, adding that the state government had also concluded arrangements to establish teacher resource centres across the state. Olaleye made the remarks at the presentation of the 2018/19 Annual School Census Report, a planning document for school administrators and education policymakers produced by the Oyo State Department of Planning, Research and Statistics, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The document which is based on data analysis developed for formal and informal school managers captures both public and private schools in the state.
