No fewer than 1,800 primary school teachers across Kwara’s 16 local government areas have begun a ten-day capacity-building workshop aimed at enhancing digital literacy, classroom innovation, and contemporary teaching methods.
The workshop, which kicked off Monday at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School, Ilorin, is spearheaded by KwaraLEARN in partnership with the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (KWSUBEB) and the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development.
The initiative is part of the state government’s broader vision to modernize the education system and equip teachers with 21st-century skills.
Speaking at the opening, Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Dr. Lawal Olohungbebe, charged teachers to remain dedicated to shaping the future of Kwara. He emphasized the state’s commitment to continuous teacher training and digital transformation in classrooms.
> “This training is about empowering our teachers to meet the demands of the digital era. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s administration is fully committed to adopting global best practices in education,” he said.
Dr. Olohungbebe expressed optimism that the program would improve classroom delivery and urged participants to put their knowledge to practical use.
KwaraLEARN’s Managing Director, Mrs. Laide Abel, congratulated the teachers and encouraged them to stay engaged and make the most of the sessions.
