An education expert and partner, Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE), Mr. David Afolayan has identified a wide gap between resources and capacity in the education sector.

To bridge the gap, he reasoned, all stakeholders must be united on the imperative of training and retraining of personnel in the industry as, according to him, the sector is pervaded with less competent hands.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the expert spoke at a workshop for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teachers in Oyo State.

According to him “there is a global need for more and better interventions in the education sector.”
