By Raymond Enoch
In a decisive move to revamp the education sector in Taraba State, Governor Agbu Kefas on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, made an unannounced visit to Government Day Secondary School (GDSS) Howai Miles Six in Jalingo, the state capital.
His surprise inspection highlighted his administration’s commitment to tackling infrastructural learning challenges in public schools across the state.
Governor Kefas, visibly concerned about the deteriorating state of the school, vowed to prioritize its renovation and rebuilding, making it the first beneficiary of his administration’s ambitious education reform agenda.
“The state of our schools must improve. We will begin with GDSS Howai Miles Six, ensuring that students have a conducive learning environment,” he assured.
Beyond infrastructure, the governor also emphasized the need to decongest classrooms for better learning outcomes. He proposed a new policy limiting class sizes to a maximum of 30 students, ensuring more effective teacher-student interaction and improved academic performance.
The governor’s unexpected visit and his bold commitments have been met with widespread approval from teachers, students, and parents, who see this intervention as a significant step toward revitalizing public education in Taraba State.
Governor Agbu Kefas has consistently positioned education as a cornerstone of his administration, implementing policies aimed at raising standards and expanding access. His latest pledge to rebuild GDSS Howai Miles Six reinforces his vision for a reformed education system—one that prioritizes infrastructure, quality teaching, and a better future for students across the state
