Osun to continue free school food for 250,000 pupils Osun state has said it will continue to feed over 250,000 pupils under it’s ‘O-Meals' School Feeding and Health Programme despite rumours that it plans to scrap the program over paucity of funds.

Primary school pupils in Osun state will continue to get free food under the government’s ‘O-Meals' School Feeding and Health Programme.

The Permanent Secretary in Osun state Ministry of Education, Lawrence Oyeniran, said this while answering questions on the OSBC Radio 104.5FM Yoruba weekly programme, 'Lagbo Eto Eko'.

Oyeniran said the Governor Rauf Aregbesola government is committed to the program and asked the 3,000 food vendors employed in the scheme to continue to feed the over 250,000 pupils benefiting from the scheme.

There had been speculations that the state government plans to scrap the program over paucity of funds but the Permanent Secretary assured that this was not the case.

He said the rumours were being peddled by 'enemies of masses' and revealed that the government had reached an agreement with the O-meals vendors to resume as usual.

Covenant University begins use of card readers for exam accreditation Covenant University said it has deployed biometrics devices, popularly known as card readers, for the conduct of its on-going examination.

The university is well known for its engagement of technology in its activities and has been awarded the “Best ICT-driven University” in Nigeria and West Africa.
The Director, Centre for Systems and Information Services of the university, Pastor Abolade Afolabi, explained that the introduction of the smart card readers was to solve the challenge of students having to go through the rigour of printing out their Course Evaluation Forms in order to sit for examination, Punch reports.
Another reason, according to him, is to forestall any form of examination malpractice.
INEC deployed a similar technology in the recently concluded general elections.
Before the introduction of the card readers examinations, students were expected to complete their course registration and clearance on the portal and print out the evaluation form. The forms were presented to invigilators at the examination venue before they were eligible to write the exam.
Afolabi further explained that “the card readers use a highly secured cryptographic technology that is commonly used for devices that perform secure transactions, such as payment terminals. The devices contain Green List, that is, names of students who have been evaluated for a particular course and are eligible to take the examination.”
The University’s Director of Academic Planning Unit, Dr. Akan Williams, also claimed that with the introduction of the card readers, examination malpractice had been curtailed to a large extent. Though the use of the device was not without some initial challenges, Williams stated that they had recorded up to 90 per cent success.

UNILORIN's law students rated best in Nigeria after bar exam

been rated the best in Nigeria by the Council of Legal Education.

The recognition came following the cumulative performance of UNILORIN students in the August 2014 Bar Final Examinations of the Nigerian Law School.

The Council announced the ratings in the report of the ad-hoc committee it set up to assess students' performance.

Headed by the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, the committee had Prof. J. A. M. Audi, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. E. S. Olarinde, Provost, College of Law, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti; Dr. Y. M. Yusuf, the Dean of Law, University of Maiduguri; Mr. Emeka Obegolu, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. M. O. U. Gasiokwu, the Dean of Law, Delta State University, Abraka; Mr. S. A. Osamolu, Director/Head of Academic, Nigerian Law School and Mrs. M. M. Stanley-Idum, the Deputy Director (Academic), Nigerian Law School, as members.

Accordinf to the ratings, coming second behind UNILORIN is  the University of Lagos (UNILAG), followed by the University of Ibadan (UI), and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in the third and fourth positions respectively while the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) and Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) share the fifth spot..

UNILORIN came second in the 2012 and 2013 Bar Final Examinations

The committee noted in the report that the "“inability of various Faculties of Law to have uninterrupted academic activities in a semester... contributed to the declining standards" which affected their performance in the exams.

“In a bid to meet the Nigerian Law School calendar, some Faculties of Law abridged their programme to compensate for incessant strikes and other disruptions," it stated.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, described the feat as monumental.

He called for similar rating exercise across other faculties in Nigerian Universities.

X-Rated Teacher This teacher had sex with three of her teenage students

A former high school teacher accused of having sexual relationships with three of her teenage students took a plea deal Wednesday, crying as she accepted the agreement in court.

Two of the boys were 17 while a third was 16 when they were having sex with Brianne Altice, 35. One testified that he considered her to be his girlfriend during their yearlong sexual relationship.
But that won't keep her out of jail as Utah law also says a person cannot consent to sex if the other person is in a position of special trust. Altice, who taught high school English, pleaded guilty to three counts of forcible sexual abuse in exchange for prosecutors dropping 11 other counts, including several first-degree felonies.
The school authority knew about Altice's inappropriate behavior and didn't do enough to protect the students, the boys and their parents said. In a lawsuit against the Davis School District, they say the running joke at the high school was, "Who is Ms. Altice sleeping with now?"
Davis School District spokesman Chris Williams said he would love to comment on the allegations but that the civil lawsuit precludes him from saying anything. Prosecutor Susan Hunt said the three victims are on board with the plea deal.
Altice is scheduled to be sentenced on May 28 with each count carrying a possible sentence of 1 to 15 years in prison.
Altice's attorney, Ed Brass, said his client wanted to resolve a case to avoid risking an uncertain outcome at trial. Brass previously defended Altice, saying she was no longer the boys' teacher when the sex occurred.
Altice was first arrested in October 2013 after a student reported having a relationship with her. Two more victims later came forward with similar allegations.
Altice was out on bail during most of the criminal proceedings until allegations emerged earlier this year that she had sex with the third victim following her 2013 arrest. A judge ordered her to jail, where she's been for the three months.
Brass asked the judge Wednesday to let Altice out on bail until her sentencing, but the judge denied the request.
Altice was hired by the Davis County School District in 2004 and had been teaching at the high school since August 2012. She was put on leave from the school after the allegations came to light and later fired in February 2014.

Assistant principal gets 'lenient' sentence for having sex with student

(According to Pulse.ng) Mark Steven West, 32, a married man with one child, was given a 'lenient' sentence on Tuesday of four months in jail followed by eight years probation after pleading guilty to the improper relationship while working a Spring High School in Spring, Texas.
He had previously claimed the girl initiated his actions, seducing him by saying she was 'feeling horny'.
She also told police she encouraged West to have sex.  his
Despite the light punishment, the judge was scathing in handing down the punishment, saying that just three weeks after the incident the girl would have graduated, which would have made their encounter legal.
'You did it because you enjoyed the attention of young girls,' State District Judge Catherine Evans said.
'We're talking about a razor thin margin of three weeks between what separates a felony crime from a poor decision to have an inappropriate extramarital affair.'
Texas law prohibits educators having sex with students.
West apologized to the court, saying he made 'bad decisions made on impulses' and was being 'selfish'.
School officials were first tipped off to the allegations after hearing rumors and seeing inappropriate interactions between West and certain students at the school on separate occasions, according to court documents.
She also saw West 'body slam' a female student, in a playful manner, on a couch in the lobby office.
Students told investigators about rumors that West had sex with a student at the 2012 Project Prom event.
The woman, who is now at college, told investigators she seduced West.
She told investigators that she came on to West first and that he initially refused her advances, according to court documents.
She said she started to flirt and talk with West, allegedly telling him that she 'was horny and wanted to have sex with him'.
He tickled one girl, lifted up another, and was accused of making inappropriate comments to two others.
West was interviewed by a senior staff member at Spring High School in Texas in December 2012 after administrators heard that he made a sexual remark about one female student and possibly had sex with another.
He was also investigated in the 2011-2012 school year for inappropriately touching a female student on her lower back.
No charges were filed due to lack of evidence but he was ordered not to have any contact with female students.
One staff member said she was extremely uncomfortable by the number of lengthy 'closed door meetings' West was having with female students.
The staff member said she observed students leaving his office, smiling and laughing, with their clothes and hair disheveled.
