Bobboyi, who emphasised that the programme was part of UBEC’s broader efforts to address the dual challenges of the learning crisis and the high number of out-of-school children, said UBEC had taken steps to achieve an effective UBE programme in 111 schools, adding that there are three UBE effective schools per senatorial zone and three in FCT selected as a pilot for the programme.
He said the training of master trainers is one of the activities in the implementation of the ESP.
“From here, you will be expected to cascade the training to the teachers in the 111 schools. This is in furtherance of the Commission’s plans to promote smart education at the basic education level and lay an enduring foundation for the development of relevant technological skills to cope with the 21st Century world”, he said.
