Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun CON, has approved the career advancement of Graduate Primary School Teachers under the Tutor Cadre from Grade Level 16 to Grade Level 17.
The approval was disclosed in a statement signed by the State Head of Service, Mr Kehinde Onasanya, who said the decision was taken to address stagnation at the peak of the cadre and boost motivation among teachers.
According to Onasanya, the move is expected to enhance service delivery across the primary education system. “The decision aims to address stagnation at the peak of the cadre and enhance motivation,” he said.
He added that the governor also approved a consolidated salary structure for Head-Teacher General, noting that the decision effectively upgrades their status within the system.
“This move reinforces the state’s commitment to strengthening the education sector and supporting its workforce,” the Head of Service stated.
Onasanya further explained that the policy decision on career elongation followed a review of existing career progression frameworks and was designed to improve learning outcomes in public schools.
He said the State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, has been directed to implement the policy immediately to ensure timely compliance across the state.
The development, according to him, aligns with the ISEYA pillar of the administration, reaffirming Ogun State’s role as the education hub of the country.
He said the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration remains focused on implementing progressive policies to enhance educational development, while urging teachers to remain committed to efficient service delivery.
