The Bauchi state government in collaboration with Girls Education Mission International (GEM) and TY Danjuma Foundation, commenced a 3-day capacity building training for 30 selected basic and science technology teachers in the state.
Speaking while declaring the training open in Bauchi on Tuesday, the state Commissioner for Education Dr Jamila Dahiru, said thst the aim was to expand the scope of teaching in the state.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ali Babayo, the Commissioner said that the participants were expected to step the training down to notjong less than 5,000 teachers across the state.
“30 participants were selected across the 20 Local Government Areas of the state and at the end of the training, it is expected that they are going to step down the knowledge to nothing less than 5,000 teachers so as to have a wider coverage to the level that each and every person that is supposed to be oriented on this would be oriented.
“The theme of the training is Quality Education for Long life Learning which is one of the principles designed by the government to ensure that the education disseminated to the pupils is the most qualitative that has direct bearing on the lives of the people of the state.
“The aim is to ensure that effective and efficient teaching and learning environment was created in all schools in the state in line with the priority of the government,” she said.
The commissioner commended Girls Education Mission and TY Danjuma Foundation for the training assuring that the Ministry will ensure that the aims and objectives were met.
According to her, the Ministry would continue to partner relevant agencies in the education sector in order to improve the quality of service delivery in the sector.
She charged the participants to pay attention to the various presentations so as to have what to give during the stepping down.
In her address, the Executive Director of Girls Education Mission International, Keturah Shammah, said the teachers would be trained on how to deliver curriculum effectively.
“You know that the expectation of every teacher is to deliver curriculum in a class and as a teacher, if you are not able to deliver the curriculum, that means the aim of being a teacher is defeated.
“That is why we have distinguished facilitators that are going to take them in various topics including how they can deliver curriculum using modern pedagogy and also for the teachers to understand their roles and code of conduct,” she explained.
She lauded the state’s Commissioner for Education for her interest in the project, adding that the commitment has been tremendous as she gave the desired attention to ensure that the training came to fruition.
