TWENTY teachers of
three schools who were absent from their duty posts when Edo State Governor
Adams Oshiomhole paid unscheduled visits to the schools have been dismissed.
Oshiomhole who
disclosed this during an unscheduled visit to Asoro Primary School, Emokpae
Model Primary School, Western Boys High School, George Idah Model School and
Esonere Primary School in Benin City also ordered deductions from the salaries
of some teachers who got to their schools after the 8 a.m. resumption time
.
The governor who
decried the lackadaisical attitude of some teachers to work said: “The state government has provided suitable
environment in the schools, the teachers are paid good wages and inducement
allowances. These beautiful classrooms are useless if teachers don’t teach the students.”
Oshiomhole was at
the Asoro Primary School by 7:45 a.m. He went through the teachers’ attendance register and discovered that
names of teachers who were not present in school were signed in.
He then directed
that adequate punishment be meted out to those who filled in the names of the
absent teachers.
