Kaduna SUBEB Commence Training of 8,500 Teachers on Digital Literacy and ICT

The Kaduna State Universal Basic Education Board (KADSUBEB), has begun training of about 8,500 teachers on Digital Literacy and Information, Communication and Technology (ICT).

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the training was supported by Better Education Service Delivery for All (BESDA), in collaboration with Kaduna State University (KASU).

The board of directors of Human Resources Mr. Ahmed Sani, said that the board uncovered the deficiency in computer knowledge and operations after the competency test conducted for teachers.

Sani said the board found it crucial to train the teachers, looking at the importance of computer literacy to education and everyday life.

According to him, there is nothing more expected of a teacher than the ability of doing modern things in research and teaching students to enhance skills and learning ability for learners.

"With this training, we want to enhance the knowledge of both teacher and students.

"The teacher is very pivotal, in educational issues when he/she acquires knowledge in a modern way, he/she will transfer in the same way." He said.
