“The State government would require the assistance of ANCOPPS in making sure that our schools become centres of excellence. Towards this goal, workshops on modern teaching methodology should be organised for teachers, such workshops should however, not be during schools session”, she said.
She also called on parents to support their children educational attainment, saying that any expense on their children should not be seen as a waste but an investment for their better tomorrow
Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary, Alhaji Sefiu Rasheed admonished the school administrators to come up with suggestions that would lead to improve standard of students performance, at the internal and external examinations , calling for an enlarged executive meeting, where issues on students and academic performances would be discussed.
