Institute, MDGs Office Train 137 Teachers In Kebbi
The National Teachers Institute (NTI) in Kebbi State in collaboration with National Office, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), will train 137 teachers on four key teaching subjects.
The state NTI Coordinator, Alhaji Salman Maiwada, made this known in an interview with newsmen in Birnin Kebbi last Thursday.
Maiwada said the trainees would be drawn from Junior Secondary and primary schools while the state Universal Basic Education board would select those to be trained.
He said the participants would be trained on the best teaching method in the areas of methodology of teaching and computer literacy.
The others are language and communication skills and the information and communication technology (ICT).
He said institute would pay each trainee N14,000 for the week long exercise, and called on local governments’ education secretaries to ensure punctuality.
Maiwada appealed to education secretaries to ensure increase in students enrolment into the NTI National Certificate in Education (NCE), Distance Learning Studies and pivotal programme.
The Birnin Kebbi zonal Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Alhaji Zaki Sarki, decried the low number of teachers benefiting from the training.
Sarki said out of 21,000 teachers, only 137 were being trained, adding that it was inadequate.
He called on NTI to increase the number of the participants to 1,000 considering that 3,000 teachers had been selected for the training in the past.
