The Imotong Minister of Education vows to employ more teachers to improve learning in the state.
Hassan Urbano Alex after paying visit to some primary and secondary schools last week says many teachers are volunteers who are not in government payrolls, Radio Emmanuel reports.
The minister reveals that a school run by volunteers in Imilai Boma of Geria County was shut down because all pat-timers shifted to work with a timber company.
He says other schools closed down due to insecurity that affects learning environment in their areas.
Minister Urbano says county education supervisors lack mobility to implement their inspection activities.
The Education Minister was talking to Radio Emmanuel in Torit on Friday.
