Edo to train teachers on new curriculum - Governor says

Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki.

The governor disclosed this on Thursday when he inspected facilities at the Abudu campus of the College of Education, Ekiadolor, in Orhiomwon Local Government Area of the state.

Obaseki said that his administration was seeking to change the school’s  curriculum to a technology-based one which would allow the use of tablets and computers as teaching and learning tools.

The governor , however, expressed dissatisfaction with the dilapidated state of the school facilities which would  serve as a training centre for the teachers.

He said the government would carry out quick repairs on some of the structures to accommodate teachers coming for their training soon.

Obaseki described the school as one of the greatest assets of the state, saying it had  been  instrumental to the success recorded in  the  education  sector  in the past.

The governor  said it was sad that inspite of the huge investment in the school over the past decades, it had degenerated to  a  sorry state.

He said that the school would be given proper attention,  especially as the state was preparing  to embrace vocational education.

The Interim Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education, Malam Ali Sulaiman, urged communities to take ownership of government  assets in their domains to prevent deterioration.

Prof.  Edu Akenzua, the Enogie of Evbuonosa, where the school is located, said the community was happy with  government’s drive to revamp the education sector.

He said that the community would  play its part in the protection and management of the school’s  facilities.
