Parents in Bayelsa State have been implored to make use of the opportunities inherent in the state government’s policy on education.
Governor Henry Seriake Dickson of the state made the call on Monday in Yenagoa during the inauguration of an eight member State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
He said it was sad that despite the quality infrastructure, personnel and other learning aid that had been put in place in public schools across the state, most parents still displayed a lukewarm attitude in the education of their children.
He said parents should ensure that the investment of the government is not wasted.
He also charged the SUBEB team to strive hard to continue to make the impact of their activities felt by all.
Speaking at the occasion, the chairperson of SUBEB, Flora Ebi-William, thanked the governor for the confidence reposed in the team, giving the assurance that they would remain committed to the cause of improving the education situation in the state.
The newly inaugurated SUBEB members are: Mrs Flora Ebi-William, chairperson; Comrade Walton Liverpool, Executive Secretary; Pastor Asamowei Ediseye Boms; Nnamdi Orodo Egbo; Felix Obi; Tonipre Sinclair; Tam Alari and Egere Stephen.
