Lagos State government has completed the final phase of training for 2,000 newly recruited primary school teachers on integration of technological devices for instructional classroom delivery.
The training was initiated under the EKOEXCEL initiative of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and was conducted by Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB)
According to LASUBEB, the training would not only empower and develop the newly recruited teachers and participating head teachers but also bring them up to speed with how knowledge is being impacted across other parts of the world by including technology in the basic education system.
The training is geared towards accelerating learning with focus on Mathematics and 3 more in literacy.
The 2,000 teachers represent the final batch of teachers, who completed their training in a session phased in 3 batches to comply with the State Governments Covid-19 regulations.
All participating teachers promised to implement all they have learnt in the classrooms, noting the training will not only boost their confidence in the classrooms but also ensure their pupils gainfully engaged in school.
EKOEXCEL, which means Excellence in Child Education and Learning, is an educational transformation initiative of the present administration, which is aimed at bridging the gap in quality education delivery, through the use of technological devices such as teaching tablets and smartphones in public primary school pedagogy.
Governor Sanwo-Olu introduced EKOEXCEL to drive excellence in learning for all pupils across primary schools in Lagos state as it also meant to reform and develop more highly skilled teachers by training, supporting and motivating them to succeed in their classrooms.
