The Commissioner of Education in Osun State, Folorunsho Bamisayemi, says the renowned Tablet of Knowledge, popularly called Opon Imo, earlier withdrawn from students of Senior Secondary Schools will soon be re-introduced in grand style.
The Commissioner said in a chat with journalists in Osogbo, the state capital.
He said the popular Opon Imo which won a lot of accolade across the world as a phenomenal ICT innovation in schools, was only temporarily withdrawn to be refurbished and be improved upon.
He noted that the Opon Imo had to be withdrawn because the state did not have an ICT policy on education before it was introduced into schools, hence, its ineffective use.
The withdrawal was to enable the state develop a comprehensive and robust Information and Communication Technology policy in the education sector
The Commissioner noted that some of the ICT facilities had been laying fallow since 2010 as teachers and students lacked requisite capacities.
The Commissioner maintained that the ministry was working on ICT policy that would ensure teachers were adequately trained to equip them with proper skills to manage the Tablets, and other ICT facilities and centers.
