Rauf Aregbesola of Osun on
Tuesday said students who wore
unauthorised cloths to any public schools
in the State would be expelled henceforth.
Aregbesola stated this at the
commissioning of St Micheal’s
Government Middle School, Ibokun while
reacting to different choir robes and
garments wore to Baptist High School in
Iwo by some Christian students.
He said it was wrong and criminal for a
section or group of people to have
directed some innocent students to wear
choir robes to schools against court’s
judgment.
He urged whoever was not satisfied with
the judgment to ventilate the grievance
through legitimate means rather than
trying to cause crises by resorting to self
help.
According to him,``Government is not
interested in any religion as being
speculated. My goal is to improve
education standard in the state.’’
Deputy Governor Titilaoye Tomori, who
doubles as the Commissioner for
Education, said the inauguration of the
school had confirmed their mission
statement in education.
Tomori said no fewer than 20 elementary,
22 middle and 17 high schools had either
been commissioned or were at final
stages of commissioning.
State Chairman, Universal Basic Education
Board (SUBEB), Mr Felix Awofisayo urged
people to pay tax so that government can
do more.
Some students of Iwo Baptist High School
wore church garments and robes to
school on Tuesday in reaction to the court
ruling allowing Muslim female students to
wear veils (hijab) to schools
