Ekiti state government ahs to increase the quality of resources allocated to schools. For example, schools project contract should be awarded to competent contractors.
Teachers should also be encouraged to attend seminars, workshops and sandwich programmes to update their knowledge for efficiency and effectiveness in their jobs.
