Governments have been advised to be more prudent in their spendings and put better structures in place to reduce the number of out-of-school children in the country. This piece of advice was given by the Director, Internal Quality Assurance, and Chief Lecturer at the Federal College of Education (FCE), Osiele, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Dr. Temitayo Akinyele. 
She stated this while featuring on the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Ogun State, radio station, FUNAAB Radio 89.5FM live interactive programme, Boiling Point.
According to her, some government policies are faulty and education should be made flexible for the development of society. Dr. Akinyele argued that government only cannot be responsible for the problem, adding that parents were part of the factors responsible for out-of-school children’s menace.
She identified poverty as another factor contributing to the problem, urging parents to set their priorities right by channeling their children’s efforts toward things that would guide them in making the right decisions. The Don, however, called for stringent laws that would mandate parents to take proper care of their children.
