NTI will support all-inclusive education ― DG

The Director-General and Chief Executive of the National Teachers’ Institute (NTI), Kaduna, Prof Musa Garba Maitafsir said that delivery and reception of quality education is the right of all people and children across the globe.

Prof. Maitafsir made the disclosure at the opening ceremony of ‘’Inclusive Education Training Workshop for Regular Primary School Teachers and Administrators,’’ in Kaduna at the weekend

The workshop was in collaboration with SightSavers, a UK-based non-governmental organisation according to him no child shall be denied an education because of his colour, sex, disability or vulnerability.

“The international community led by the United Nations has categorically come up with a strong pronouncement on the need for the provision of quality education through Goal four of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) project,” he said.

He said the United Nations also encourages governments to ensure that ‘’no child is left behind’’ in the quest to pursue education.

Prof. Maitafsir said that inclusive education has been accepted globally as a necessity to enable an inclusive society where all barriers are eliminated or at least reduced to the barest minimum.

He said NTI is committed towards ensuring inclusive education and has gone further to take the necessary steps.

He commended SightSavers International for their intervention and support to make the programme a reality.

The Director-General and Chief Executive advised the participants to take the training as an opportunity and pay attention to all presentations.
