The Osun State Government has instructed the authorities public schools to distance themselves from selling or distribute uniforms to students in their various schools.
This according to the state government, as part of the protocols of the reversal to old uniforms with effect from the new 2020/2021 academic session.
Recall that Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State reviewed and reversed the education policy implemented by his predecessor, Rauf Aregbesola who is now the Minister of Interior.
Part of what Oyetola’s administration reserved is a single uniform policy for all public schools which will take effect from next academic session.
Speaking after the State Executive Council meeting, held on Monday, the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode, stated that uniforms are to be purchased in the open market from textile dealers in the state and should be also produced by tailors in the State.
