The Lagos State Government says it has entered into a partnership with Sustainable Education and Enterprise Development Foundation to train and equip one million teachers with modern teaching techniques.
The state government said this was in line with its measures to address noticeable declines in students’ performances occasioned by poor teaching techniques in schools.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, said the programme was designed to give participants relevant skills that would boost their competency and professionalism to deliver quality teaching.
Wahab made this known while opening the training organised for teachers at the Lagos State University of Education, Ijanikin.
He noted that the SEED programme was part of the measures put in place to achieve the set goals of the education and technology pillar of the T.H.E.M.E.S agenda of the state under the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Wahab, who was represented by the Director of the Standard and Accreditation Office of the Special Adviser on Education, Mrs Adepeju Summon, explained that the programme would help to build the capacity of teachers through exposure to various online courses as well as foreign teaching techniques.
This, she said, would help to update their knowledge and improve their skills to be able to perform better and guide students appropriately in class.
