NGO Trains 2,100 Kebbi Primary School Teachers On New Strategies

More than 2,100 primary school teachers in Kebbi State are undergoing training on new teaching methods. The training is being sponsored by Kebbi Development Forum (KDF). The chairman of the forum, Professor Sahabi Danladi, during the flag off ceremony in Jega, said the teachers would be exposed to the new trends of teaching strategies during the training. He said the effort of the forum to embark on training of the teachers was to complement government efforts in the education sector of the state. He added that “It is important for teachers to be equipped with appropriate knowledge, attitude, behavior and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively as classroom teachers”. The KDF chairman said the new teaching strategy is called student-centered or learner’s-centered education which focuses on students. “In a student centered learning space, students choose what they learn,how they learn and how the student will be assessed on their learning”, he said.
