The Akwa Ibom State Secondary Education Board (SSEB) has frowned at the alleged poor and nonchalant attitude to work among public school teachers in the state.
Dr. Ebong Okon made the remark on Friday, when the board members undertook an unscheduled inspection of Comprehensive High School, Ntak Afaha, in Ukanafun Local Government Area.
She advised the teachers to take their work seriously, saying the board would no longer condone such work attitude.
Okon, represented by the Director of Monitoring and Evaluation, Mr. Joseph Eton, expressed shock that the first term results for the 2020/2021 session had yet to be released several weeks into the second term.
She decried the development, saying that end of term results should be released within four days.
Okon warned teachers in the school to desist from truancy and lateness to school.
“We discovered during the visit that all the classes were without teachers.
“This act is unprofessional and unacceptable. Severe sanctions will be given if this attitude continues,” Okon said.
Meanwhile, at Community Secondary School, Urua Ekpa Enang, the SSEB chairman said he was pleased to see that almost all the teachers were conducting classes as at the time of the visit.
