The Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), in conjunction with the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), has commenced the 2nd phase of training for Quality Assurance Officers across the state. This is in addition to the ongoing School-based training programs for all categories of teachers, especially the newly recruited teachers taking place in designated centres across the 16 LGEAs.
The Quality Assurance training was introduced to help the staff of the Department (QAD) in educational system solutions. The school-based training programmes have been designed to prepare the teachers ahead of school resumption in September.
The 5-day capacity building training, which commenced on Monday 23 August 2021, is scheduled to run for a whole week. The venue of the QAD training is e-phonix hotel, Fate/GRA area, Ilorin.
Similar systematic training was organised for Head Teachers and School Support Officers (SSOs) early this month at Bishop Smith LGEA school, Ilorin. Facilitators were selected from Kwara State College of Education, Oro. The facilitators were exposed to similar training by UBEC last year. The train-the-trainers workshop was held in Abuja and Ibadan.
The sixteen (16) Education Secretaries in Kwara State meanwhile are expected to join their colleagues in North Central, Nigeria, in Lafia, Nasarawa State between 21st & 24th September,2021 for teachers' professional development and schools' administration capacity building.
