It stated that the summit would concentrate on a variety of topics, such as school facilities, learning aids, teacher availability, educational technology applications, parental factors, and student performance.

A comprehensive report on how to improve the state's education system would be produced as a result of the summit, according to the statement.

“Tech application in schools and e-learning are however global trends and Osun State is being prepared for such opportunities ahead of the summit,  hence the directive to the two ministries by the governor.

“The members of the public are hereby informed that no decision has been taken on tablets and e-learning for schools.
