Edo State Ministry of Education has established School Management Board (SMB) as part of its Systems Strengthening and School Governance foci under the education reform framework of EdoBEST 2.0. The Ministry has created SMB to further strengthen school governance at the Senior Secondary level. Members of the SMB will help to support the operations of their school while assisting to drive much needed external resources to the school. SMBs will become operational in September 2022. At the basic education level, there exists School-based Management Committees.
In addition to establishing the SMB, beginning in the 2022/2023 academic year, the MoE will launch School Ranking. There is need to know which schools are succeeding and which ones are failing. LGAs will also be ranked based on their schools’ performance. The rankings include Basic education (Primary, Special Education Schools, Adult Education Centers, JSS), Senior Secondary Schools, Technical and Vocational Education Schools (TVET) and Private schools.
Edo State Ministry of Education is inviting community service-driven individuals at home and in the diaspora to consider sitting on the Board of any public Senior Secondary School of their choice. Each SMB will consist of 11 members, including a representative of the school’s PTA, a parent of a student in the school and the School Principal who will Serve as Secretary of the Board.
While advisory and voluntary in nature, Board members are expected to be active, contribute and get others within their sphere of influence to contribute to the infrastructural, academic and co-curricular development of our schools.
