Adamawa, NEDC Train 60 Primary School Teachers
The Adamawa State Universal Basic Education Board (ADSUBEB), in collaboration with the North East Development Commission (NEDC), has trained sixty (60) primary school teachers to enhance their professional skills and promote excellence in Science teaching.
The training centred on Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) and Agriculture, as well as modules in Classroom and School Management, Guidance and Counselling, Quality Assurance, and English Language proficiency.
ADSUBEB Executive Chairman, Dr. Murtala Babayi said the capacity building measure falls under the Teachers Professional Development (TPD) Department which aims to empower educators with innovative teaching strategies that reflect global best practices.
Director of TPD, Mohammed Musa highlighted the importance of equipping teachers to become problem-solvers who can leverage technology and modern methodologies to improve student performance.
Lead Consultant, Dr. Lawan Alhaji, who supervised the training, emphasised the programme’s goal of revolutionising teaching practices across public schools in Adamawa State.
“This landmark training has armed teachers with the competence, confidence, and creativity required to inspire the next generation of leaders,” Lawan said.
He further noted that with continued support from both NEDC and ADSUBEB, Adamawa was on the path to becoming a beacon of educational transformation in the North-East region.
Dr. Lawan’s strategic leadership and commitment to educational development have been widely commended for ensuring the success of the training programme, which was expected to have a long-term positive impact on the state’s education system.
The collaboration between the NEDC and ADSUBEB has been described as a model for partnership between government institutions to drive meaningful reforms and strengthen foundational education in Nigeria.
