Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has approved the sum of N1b for the training of basic-level teachers across the 27 local government areas of the state.
Zulum announced the approval on Tuesday while inaugurating the newly appointed local government education secretaries who will administer the affairs of primary education in their respective LGAs. The governor noted that over 1,000 teachers who have O-Level certificates as their highest qualification will undergo additional training that would allow them to attain minimum teaching qualifications.
Zulum noted that his administration in 2019, when sworn in, embarked on rebuilding the devastated school infrastructures to provide enhanced learning outcomes which he said has resulted in dropping the number of out-of-school children to eight hundred thousand from over two million. The governor charged the newly appointed education secretaries to live up to expectations and warned that anyone found to be underperforming would be replaced.
