The Zamfara State Government has trained 250 teachers, principals, Quality Assurance Evaluators and education administrators as part of efforts to transform the education sector in the state.
The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Hon. Abdulmalik Garba Gajam, disclosed this at the closing ceremony of a training programme on global transformation for education personnel held on Saturday in Gusau, the state capital.
Gajam said the training was part of the state government’s efforts to improve the quality of education and equip education personnel with relevant skills to meet emerging challenges.
He said the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal had prioritised education and would not allow the sector to collapse, noting that this informed the declaration of a state of emergency on education.
“Education sector in Zamfara State has changed, our schools now look better than we met them, school administrators were deployed based on merit, teachers can now sleep well, work well. We encourage competency and hardworking,” he stated.
The commissioner said the ministry would continue to work towards improving the welfare and working conditions of teachers across the state.
“Our teachers would not be hungry that can make them angry, education sector in Zamfara has changed,” he disclosed.
Earlier in her welcome address, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Hajiya Maryam Shantali, said the world was experiencing rapid changes in technology, pedagogy, education management and the skills required by young people to succeed.
“These changes require education systems to continuously adapt and equip their personnel with relevant knowledge and competencies,” she said.
Shantali urged the beneficiaries to apply the knowledge acquired during the training to improve teaching and learning in schools.
“As we gather today to formally close the programme, I wish to emphasise that the completion of this training is not the end of the process.
“We expect our teachers to take the knowledge and skills acquired here back to their classrooms and translate them into improved teaching practices and better learning experiences for our pupils and students,” she urged.
