Over 500 applicants have been screened by the Ogun State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) as prospective Principals, Vice-Principals and Zonal Secretaries to manage public secondary schools across the state.

The two-day screening exercise had two sessions of Computer-Based Test (CBT), and an oral interview to determine the competence and capacity of participants on Grade Level (GL) 17, for Principals and GL 16 for Vice-Principals and Zonal Secretaries.

Chairman of the Commission, Evangelist Olalekan Ifede, while addressing participants, at the Baptist Boys High School, Saje Abeokuta, explained that the exercise was to assess their capacity for the tasks ahead, saying those vying for Principal and Vice-Principal positions must submit a letter of undertaking to serve a minimum of two years in whatever school or part of the state posted to.

While enjoining them to put in their best, Evang. Ifede added that Vice-Principals must be ready to teach at least 10 periods weekly in respective schools, upon assumption of office, pointing out that lobbying will not be entertained.

"The screening exercise has been put in place to ascertain the competence of all, and we are confident that you, as an extension of TESCOM in the schools, will do the Commission proud. Please note that the Commission will not entertain any posting requests from you, until after 2 years and Vice-Principals ready to teach at least, 10 periods weekly", he said.

On his part, Commissioner IV in the Commission, who doubles as Chairman, Committee on Transfer and Posting, Hon. Ademola Adeleye, said prospective Zonal Secretaries for the 22 zones across the state must demonstrate their capability while in office, charging the participants to continually upgrade their skills, irrespective of their career attainment.
