Edo state government has commissioned the first set of school blocks being built across public schools in the state as part of its efforts to revamp the educational standards in the state. The schools which were finished with PVC roofs and ceilings, floor tiles, aluminium windows and magic white boards are already furnished with desks which can sit only a student at a time and each classroom is to accommodate between forty and fifty students. Governor Adams Oshiomhole who commissioned the twenty six classroom blocks in Idia College and Niger College in Benin City said the classrooms were the minimum standards of School blocks to be built or rehabilitated in every school in the state. The governor who decried the neglect of public education, saying it constitutes a direct attack on the poor, stressed that investment in qualitative public education in must be a priority in the country. Efforts also by Federal Government intervention agencies like the NDDC and the education trust fund have yielded minimal results as could be seen in these buildings. The Edo state government under its total school transformation programme is building this standard of schools in the state, students, teachers and old students could describe it as seeing their wildest dream come true. Four completed blocks of twenty classrooms were commissioned in Idia College while a block of six classrooms were commissioned at Niger College. New classroom blocks are also being built across schools in the three senatorial areas of the state while existing classroom are being upgraded to the standard. Governor Adams Oshiomhole who was a product of public school said for public schools to measure up with private schools and even become better is a dream come true. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole said his administration embarked on quality of projects to give equal opportunity to both the children of the poor and the rich. Reacting to a recent PDP faction press briefing, governor Oshiomhole urged guests to judge for themselves the quality of project of his administration and that of the NDDC or ETF for which the PDP is comparing their prices.
