RASDA trains 250 teachers on reading, comprehension skills in Ogun

The Reading Awareness Society for Development in Africa (RASDA), has trained a total of 250 teachers in the basic education schools on reading and comprehension skills in Ogun State.

The training, which was organised  in collaboration with the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), was aimed at training the teachers to enhance their teaching capability.

The state Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Professor Abayomi Arigbabu, represented by the permanent secretary in the Ministry, Mrs Bosede Ogunleye, said that teachers must be up and doing in the discharge their duties.

She said: “We need this kind of training from time to time as a form of capacity-building for our teachers to enable them to perform effectively.”

She explained further that the purpose of the training was to equip the teachers with the skill to handle the children, adding that whatever they impart on the children goes a long way in making them become better persons in future.

“They need to train these children in line with the new methodology and ensure that all of them are coping well. It is until when the learners are responding to learning that we can say that we have imparted correctly.”
