In a bold move to improve the quality of education in Adamawa State, the Adamawa State Universal Basic Education Board (ADSUBEB), in collaboration with the North East Development Commission (NEDC), has successfully concluded a comprehensive capacity-building workshop for 600 primary and secondary school teachers.
The workshop, which drew participants from the three senatorial zones of the state, was designed to enhance the professional skills of teachers and promote excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Agriculture (STEMA), alongside modules in Classroom and School Management, Guidance and Counselling, Quality Assurance, and English Language proficiency.
The initiative, championed by ADSUBEB Executive Chairman, Dr. Murtala Umar Babayi, falls under the Teachers Professional Development (TPD) Department and aims to empower educators with innovative teaching strategies that reflect global best practices.
Director of TPD, Mohammed Sani Musa, highlighted the importance of equipping teachers to become problem-solvers who can leverage technology and modern methodologies to improve student performance.
Lead Consultant, Dr. Lawan Bukar Alhaji, who supervised the training, emphasized the program’s goal of revolutionizing teaching practices across public schools in Adamawa. According to him, “this landmark training has armed teachers with the competence, confidence, and creativity required to inspire the next generation of leaders.”
He further noted that with continued support from both NEDC and ADSUBEB, Adamawa is on the path to becoming a beacon of educational transformation in the North East.
Dr. Babayi’s strategic leadership and commitment to educational development have been widely commended for ensuring the success of the training program, which is expected to have a long-term positive impact on the state’s education system.
The collaboration between NEDC and ADSUBEB stands as a model for how government institutions can partner to drive meaningful reforms and strengthen foundational education in Nigeria.
