The training also targets Junior Secondary School teachers, Zonal Evaluators, and selected staff from the SUBEB Headquarters, while the facilitators were drawn from Sa’adatu Rimi College of Education and are being trained by certified UBEC trainers.
According to the Executive Chairman, Malam Yusuf Kabir, who made the statement through the Director of Teacher Development, Hajiya Hauwa Tanimu, the training is designed to equip educators with modern digital skills to enhance teaching and learning.
Malam Yusuf added that by the end of the program, participants are expected to make the most of their Internet connection, work effectively with images in digital learning documents, create digital documents and PowerPoint presentations, develop and use simple spreadsheets, save and share learning materials with students online using platforms such as WhatsApp and video conferencing, use keyboard shortcuts to improve efficiency, and find legally usable images online for teaching resources.
