The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) has trained 11,112 teachers and headteachers for the EKOEXCEL reading champion initiative.
This, the Board said, is to ensure that every pupil becomes a proficient reader and successful in all their academic subjects, as it aims to improve literacy and essential life skills that will help to close learning gaps.
In his remark, Chairman, Education Secretaries, Amosu Akeem expressed appreciation to SUBEB and the EKOEXCEL programme for introducing the initiative saying that it will also help to equip every school leader, teacher and staff with the technical knowledge and advocacy skills needed to help school pupils become proficient readers.
“The EKOEXCEL programme recognises and values the dedication and hard work of teachers, acknowledging their significant role in shaping education and the future of our children. This initiative serves as a motivation for teachers, assuring them that their efforts are recognised and appreciated,” he said.
