Kebbi Plans Measures To Improve Students’ Performance
The Kebbi Government has expressed its determination to adopt fresh measures to improve students’ performance in external examinations.
The state’s Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Abdullahi Kamba, made the promise at a meeting with directors, supervisors and inspectors of schools in Birnin Kebbi on Wednesday.
He said that teaching and learning facilities as well as infrastructure would be provided in schools.
Kamba also said that classrooms would be decongested to bring them in line with global standard of student -teacher ratio, adding that accommodation for teachers would be improved.
He said that facilities were being provided to aid students’ performance in external examinations because of the increase in enrolment.
“I commend the honest contributions by participants at this interactive session and urge all of you to always give suggestions on the way forward to raise the standard of education in the state.
The commissioner said that efforts would be made to ensure that supervisors and inspectors of schools were regular in their activities to improve teaching and learning.
Ibrahim Garba, the Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools, said that the high student-teacher ratio in schools would affect student’s performance in external examinations if steps were not taken to address it.
