Commissioner Tasks Secretaries On Success
Following the inauguration of Education Secretaries into the 23 local government areas of the State, the Rivers State commissioner for Education, Dame Alice Lawrence Nemi, has tasked them to ensure they succeed in their new assignment.
The commissioner, who gave the charge recently however, assured them that all assistance they required to make them succeed will be available for them.
“I state categorically that you have no reason to fail. You must live up to expectation you are not an island. You are subject to the authorities of the Board and Ministry of Education. You are expected to inspect the schools under your watch regularly and report back to the Board with dispatch,” she said.
While urging the newly inaugurated secretaries to consider their appointment as a privilege to prove their mettle towards making contributions to achieve the goals and vision of Governor Chibuike Amaechi in education, the commissioner charged them to make quality education the watchword.
“Where quality is, mediocrity has no place. This is why you have been brought in to join the current campaign in rebranding education in Rivers State, particularly the primary and junior secondary education,” she said.
According to the commissioner, the emphasis on primary and junior secondary education at this juncture is necessitated by the fact of their strategic nature.
This level of education is the bedrock for quality education, if you get it right at the primary level, we are on our way to sustainable and functional education that would be the pride of all, “Dame Nemi said.
