20 outstanding secondary school teachers to get car gifts in Lagos

The governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has assured of his commitment to rewarding excellent service delivery with a pledge to give 20 cars to deserving post-primary school teachers across the six education districts in the state.

Sanwo-Olu made the pledge during a virtual training of teachers, tagged ‘Eko Educators Webinar Performance Series 3.3’, where he described teachers as key change agents who would be remembered for shaping future generation of leaders.

The governor advised teachers to embrace technology in improving the quality of teaching, which he said would ultimately make them great.

The Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, emphasized that quality teaching and learning were critical to the success of any school system. She commended Lagos State teachers for what she called their continual self-development, in addition to the government’s efforts in that development.

The Chairman, Teaching Service Commission, Mrs Elizabeth Olabisi Ariyo, commended Sanwo-Olu for approving both the Teachers’ Exit Replacement programme with over 1,000 new appointees and the Retrospective Course, which she said had lingered since  2013, for over 700 teachers, as well as approving the digital training of all post-primary schools teachers.
