In line with the state government’s commitment to fill critical vacancies in its public service, Ondo State Universal Basic Education Board (ODSUBEB) will next week commence the recruitment of teachers into its public primary schools across the rural areas of the state.
According to a statement by ODSUBEB’s Director Information and Public Relations, Prince Bolu Diesel Ajijo, the portal for the recruitment is www.odsgsubeb.org
Ajijo said that the exercise that would last five days, from Tuesday, 2nd April to Saturday, 6th April 2024.
He said that the current exercise, tagged ‘Recruitment of Teachers for Rural Areas’, is designed by the state government to fill the ever yearning gap in the teaching staff in the rural areas as against the municipal and urban locations that have more than their required teachers going by UNESCO standard of a maximum of 35 pupils per class.
While seeking the Governor’s approval for the recruitment, the Executive Chairman of ODSUBEB, Rt. Hon. Victor Olabimtan said that the exercise would be special as it would be based on tbe needs assessment of each Local Government Area (LGA).

“The only way to make tbe new teachers stay and teach in their duty post is to ensures that natives of particular areas and Local Governments are recruited to teach in their localities, communities and Local Governments”, he said.
The former Speaker of the state House of Assembly said that only citizens of LGAs like Ilaje, Ese -Odo, Irele and Odigbo would be recruited to teach in their schools because of the special nature of these areas.
