The Osun State Government has attributed the large number of out-of-school-children in the state to the neglect of the education sector during the administration of former governor Adegboyega Oyetola.

The state government is also revealed that it is planning to recruit 6,000 teachers into the public primary and secondary schools in the state before the end of June 2024.

The state government spoke in a statement released by Kolapo Alimi, the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, on Sunday.
