By Kolawole Olayinka, Abeokuta

Chairman of the Ogun State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), Evang. Ifede Olalekan has charged the newly 263 inducted Vice Principals (VPs) in the state to work in harmony with their bosses for improved academic performance.

Ifede, who stated this in Abeokuta at the induction of the Vice Principals, noted that quality knowledge impartation could only thrive in a peaceful environment as it would also avail them the opportunity to harness the inherent potentials of other teaching and non-teaching staff.

The chairman disclosed that the Commission would always entrench professional ethics, fairness, equity, justice and applaud good performance, which would be accorded with motivational methods.

He commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for his passion and contribution towards the development of the education sector.

Speaking earlier, Permanent Secretary, TESCOM, Dr. Abdulwaheed Olanloye enjoined the inductees to serve as catalysts to academic upliftment in the various schools assigned to them.

Olanloye added that they should exhibit qualities of vice principals, as they are embodiment of emulation to teachers and students under their watch.

In his contribution, Commissioner IV of TESCOM, who also doubles as the Chairman, Committee of Induction, Mr. Ademola Joseph urged them to possess parental attributes, by evaluating students’ attitudes to studies, identify their strength and weaknesses to foster excellent academic performance in written and verbal examinations.
