Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said his government, in the past seven years, has undertaken a holistic reform of the state’s education sector, noting that with the investment in the sector this year, all basic and secondary schools in the state will fully transition to digital mode of learning.
  
Obaseki, who spoke to journalists in Benin City, the Edo State capital, said his administration has set the foundation for the rebirth of the state, guaranteeing a better and brighter future for Edo’s next generation.
  
The governor said: “We have continued to extend our investment in the basic education sector through the EdoBEST programme to ensure a better, brighter and more fulfilling future for our children.
  
“Under EdoBEST 2.0 reforms, we have begun disarticulating Junior Secondary School (JSS) from Senior Secondary School (SSS) in line with the national policy on education.

“The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) are being redesigned to align technical education with needs of industry and private businesses.
  
“From the Edo State Polytechnic, Usen, to the Edo State University, Uzaurie, and the Ambrose Alli University, we have sustained sweeping reforms to improve teaching, upgrade infrastructure and support staff to attract private sector partnerships in institutional building and expansion programmes.”
