THE Parents Teachers Association, Osun State chapter, has called on the state government to recruit more teachers into all public schools across the state.

He stressed that the PTA is ready to partner with the government on programmes that will add value to public education and enhance learning for the school children, stating that government alone cannot handle education matters.

In his address, the Commissioner for Education, Eluwole, appreciated the PTA executives and members for their support, stressing that the Adeleke-led government is ready to give all what it takes to develop public education.

Akin Ajetumobi, assured the PTA members that the Adeleke administration will partner with them on education reform, while urging parents to instill good moral values on their children as teachers cannot do the job alone.
