Kwara Trains 1,800 Primary School Teachers in Digital Literacy, Classroom Innovation
In a bold step toward transforming basic education, the Kwara State Government has commenced a 10-day capacity-building workshop for 1,800 primary school teachers across its sixteen Local Government Areas. The training, which kicked off on Monday at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School, Ilorin, is designed to equip educators with digital literacy skills, modern teaching methods, and classroom innovation strategies.
Organised through a collaboration between KwaraLEARN, the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (KWSUBEB), and the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, the initiative underscores the state’s commitment to upgrading its educational workforce to meet 21st-century standards.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Dr. Lawal Olohungbebe, urged the participants to embrace the opportunity to improve their teaching practices, describing them as crucial pillars in shaping the state’s future.
“The purpose of this training is to empower our teachers to meet the challenges of the digital age. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s administration is committed to global best practices in education, and this workshop is one of several initiatives aimed at transforming our learning environment,” Olohungbebe stated.
He assured the teachers of continuous support and access to digital tools, reaffirming the government’s agenda to transition from an analog to a digitally-driven education system.
Also speaking, Managing Director of KwaraLEARN, Mrs. Laide Abel, congratulated the teachers and urged them to engage actively in the sessions to maximize the benefits of the training.
The workshop is expected to significantly enhance classroom delivery and learner outcomes across the state’s public primary schools.
