The North East Development Commission (NEDC), has charged education managers in Bauchi State to uphold innovation in teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Agriculture (STEMA) subjects to reshape the future of younger generations.
The call was made during a training on effective teaching and learning of STEMA, which took place in Misau Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
The training, which targeted about 200 teachers and school managers from Misau, Dambam, Ningi, Warji, Ganjuwa, and Darazo Local Governments, aimed to improve quality assurance methodologies.
In his remarks, the Education Secretary of Darazo Local Education Authority, Mallam Sallau Nuhu, described the NEDC’s efforts as a welcome development, noting that teachers have had limited access to acquire new teaching methods over the years.
Mallam Nuhu, who spoke on behalf of Education Secretaries of Bauchi Central Zone, advised participants to take advantage of the training and step down the knowledge acquired to their respective schools.
Speaking earlier, The Provost of A.D Rufa’i College of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Misau, Dr. Auwal Ibrahim Amba, represented by the registrar of the college Mallam Garba Musa Gar, commended the humanitarian services of NEDC, particularly in the education sector, and called on teachers to brainstorm knowledge that will benefit humanity.
In their separate remarks, The Bauchi State Coordinator of NEDC, Mr. Aliyu Isiyaku, and the Training Consultant from Achille Technology Concept Limited, Dr. Auwal Haruna, charged education managers to support the campaign by ensuring every child has access to quality education.
They emphasized the need to address issues affecting the universal basic education sector within and outside the state.
In response, Mallam Muhammad Baba Waziri from Central Primary and Junior Secondary School Misau, who spoke on behalf of the participants, promised to support the NEDC movement and step down the knowledge gathered to their pupils towards achieving the desired goals.
The training is part of the Commission’s efforts to revitalize the basic education sector and improve the quality of education in the region, by equipping teachers with new methodologies.
