Federal Government has sought collaboration of the World Bank in skills enhancement for senior secondary school teachers.
Executive Secretary of National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC), Dr Benjamin Abakpa, made the call in Abuja during a courtesy visit on him by Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE), led by Aisha Garba.
He revealed that the senior secondary school has a total of 35 trade subjects captured in the curriculum, with some of the subjects having no instructors or having instructors that are yet to be well trained in their fields.
Head, Press and Public Relations of the Commission, Fatima Bappare, in a statement in Abuja, yesterday, quoted Abakpa as saying the mandate of NSSEC is “to reposition senior secondary education to meet societal and global needs. And in achieving this mandate, the retraining of senior secondary school teachers in their various trade subjects is paramount.”
