No fewer than 1,800 primary school teachers from 16 Local Government Areas of Kwara State are participating in a capacity-building workshop focused on digital literacy, classroom innovation, and modern teaching methods.
The ten-day workshop, which commenced on Monday at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School, Ilorin, was organized by KwaraLEARN in collaboration with the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (KWSUBEB) and the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development.
It is part of the State’s broader strategy to enhance education delivery by upgrading teachers’ skills to meet 21st-century standards.
In his opening remarks, the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Dr. Lawal Olohungbebe, charged the teachers to remain committed to shaping the future of the State by equipping the next generation with the right knowledge and values.
Dr. Olohungbebe emphasized the state’s readiness to support teachers’ efficiency through continuous training and digital tools as part of the administration’s shift from an analog to a digital education system.
“The purpose of this training is to empower our teachers to meet the challenges of the digital age.
“Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s administration is committed to global best practices in education, and this workshop is one of several initiatives aimed at transforming our learning environment,” he said.
The Commissioner expressed confidence that the training will positively impact classroom performance, urging the participants to apply the knowledge acquired for the betterment of their pupils and the education sector.
The Managing Director of KwaraLEARN, Mrs. Laide Abel, congratulated the participants and encouraged them to be attentive and participate actively throughout the sessions in order to fully benefit from the program.
