Describing the groups as critical stakeholders, he emphasised that their support and collaboration are essential for the successful implementation of policies that would advance teaching and learning in secondary schools across the state.
The TESCOM chairman disclosed that the commission had introduced initiatives designed to enhance efficiency, fairness, and transparency in its operations, with the aim of boosting staff morale and ensuring quality service delivery.
On the deployment of newly inducted principals and vice principals, Sanyaolu assured that postings would strictly reflect existing vacancies, seniority, and merit, based on the outcome of the last screening exercise.
