He added that the upgrade will improve the quality of teaching by enriching the knowledge of teachers and further spurring them to work harder.
“Teaching is the pivotal of education; therefore, teacher quality is central to quality education and the national development of any nation.

“And the quality of teachers is what determines the standard of education.
“This is a welcome development; Nigeria and Plateau State in particular will no doubt benefit immensely from this gesture.
