The Tutor-General/Permanent Secretary of Education District VI, Mrs Mojisola Christiana Yusuff, has sought the support of traditional rulers and community stakeholders to address rising cases of indiscipline in public schools within the district.
Mrs Yusuff made the call during a courtesy visit to the Osolo of Isolo, His Royal Majesty, Oba Isa Abiodun Olakunle Faronbi Shekoni, where she led members of her management team to strengthen collaboration between the education sector and the Isolo community.
Expressing concern over increasing cases of student indiscipline, particularly within the Okota school cluster, the TG/PS noted that while the government continues to provide a conducive and secure learning environment, sustained discipline cannot be achieved without the active involvement of parents, traditional institutions and community leaders.
She stressed that discipline is a collective responsibility and appealed to community stakeholders to partner with the education district in restoring order in schools and protecting public school infrastructure.
“We are calling on the community to join hands with us in bringing sanity back to our schools. Discipline is a shared responsibility, and we need everyone’s involvement to create a safe and productive learning environment,” she said.
In his response, Oba Faronbi Shekoni reaffirmed the palace’s commitment to education and community development. He acknowledged the existing collaboration between the Isolo community and the education district and pledged to mobilise parents and relevant stakeholders to tackle issues of indiscipline and security in schools.
The monarch also raised concerns over encroachment on school lands in the Okota area and assured the district of the palace’s support in facilitating regular communication and cooperation to address the challenges.
The visit marked a renewed partnership between Education District VI and the Isolo community, aimed at fostering a more disciplined, secure and supportive educational environment for students across the district.
