SA Commends FG For Re-introducing Civic Education
The federal government has been commended for reintroducing civic education in the educational curriculum. The Special Adviser to governor Chibuike Amaechi on Primary Education and a one-time member, Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr Sam Sam Etetegwung who was speaking in a keynote address at a one-day capacity building workshop for civic education teachers in Port Harcourt described civic education as the bed-rock of national co-existence. “Civic education is about the values and ethics in both our national life and public service,” he said, adding that, “for us to co-exist as a state in spite of the many ethnic groups and dialects we must learn to love ourselves and respect each other’s culture and beliefs.” Etetegwung further stated that it is important to teach children to be united in diversity to equip them in their adult lives. According to him, “if we are not united we will destroy the state for the future generation,” stressing that, “if children grew up with the right values, they will not deviate from it in adulthood,” while charging the participants to comport themselves and learn all they could, expressing the hope that they would pass their knowledge on to their pupils. He said the workshop, which was organised by the State National Orientation Agency (NOA), in partnership with the State Ministry of Education was timely and congratulated them for its success.
