We’ve trained over 8,000 primary school teachers in Kano — PLANE

An association under the auspice of the Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE) has said that in its effort to contribute its quota to the development of education in Kano State, the PLANE has trained over 8,000 primary school teachers in Kano

This was just as the organisation added that it had coordinated book and other learning material distribution at the classroom level across the 532 schools in Kano State.

Disclosing this, PLANE’s State Team Lead, Malam Umar Lawan, revealed this during a presentation at the Kano State Quarterly Review Meeting Agenda, held in Kano.

Making this known on behalf of Mallam Lawan, the state reform facilitator, Umma Muhammad Rakana, the state team lead, stated that the training was conducted in collaboration with State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB).

According to him, the distribution was to ensure every child had their own learning materials.

He further disclosed that the PLANE had supported 35 school-based management committees that sensitised stakeholders on book care and maintenance, including parents, SBMC, PTA chairmen, LGEA staff, community leaders, religious leaders, and youth groups.

The organisation hinted that it has supported the programme by donating 2 hectares of land in Kafinwachiwaya, Takai Local Government area, for the construction of 2 classrooms and 2 bundles of zinc sheets.

“There were also various cash donations for bricks, sand, and bags of cement, and costs for construction were also donated.“PLANE also organised

However, during the presentation, Lawan suggested that more teachers need to be employed to bridge the gaps of inadequate teachers in some schools, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

He also advised the provision of other learning materials, like pencils and exercise books, by parents, noting that “this will further improve teaching and learning and provide a better learning outcome for pupils.

“More school support visits need to be conducted to ensure lesson delivery by teachers,” he said.

He said the purpose of the meeting was to give an update on key activities conducted in the PLANE programmes in the last quarter, adding that the review would look at successes and challenges to find the way forward.

Earlier, the Commissioner for Education, Haruna Doguwa, represented by the Director of Planning, Research, and Statistics, Malam Munzali Mustapha, commended the stakeholders for the meeting, which, according to him, was crucial to the education sector.

He said, “I am happy to see you holding this meeting. These kinds of meetings are key to finding ways of developing education in the state.”

He stated, “At our level, we will continue to offer our commitment towards the development of education in various ways.”
