OYO EDUCATION GETS A LIFT

Education is the only weapon that the poor have to combat the overbearing attitude and insensitive disposition of the rich in the society. Having recognized this, the Ministry of Education, Oyo State has encouraged some secondary school students to aspire to be intellectual forces to reckon with by facilitating a fully funded scholarship scheme for them on the basis of academic performance.

The scholarship is aimed at rewarding academic excellence, research and dedication of the recipients to human capital development in the society. This is commendable and worthy of emulation by other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

As a matter of fact, the scholarship is going to spur the student to more academic success as well as re - position them for better productivity and self sustainability later in life.

According to the provisions of the scheme, the students who got the scholarship will enroll into Junior and Senior Secondary Schools as soon as 2017 /2018 academic session resumes this September.

In other words, the scholarship is going to encourage more young people to re - adjust their focus to education as they have always thought that, education is not lucrative unlike the entertainment industry.

To this end, this scholarship award will motivate more students to re - channel their energy, prowess and know how into their studies in school without undermining the impact and role of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the actualization of their dreams in life.
