AS part of preparation towards schools’ reopening after months of closure, the Lagos State government has begun virtual training programme for the public secondary school teachers across the six educational districts in the state. She said the teachers are expected to prepare well enough ahead of resumption so as to be able to perform with huge impacts on their studies and the society when normalcy returns. Mrs. Adefisayo noted that the theme of the training, ‘Mitigating Strategies against Erosion in the Education Sector’, was germane going by the current global crisis which she said had given a new direction for all sectors, including education. “So, as a responsible government, we need to prepare our teachers for the demands of the new normal to enable them to cope conveniently with their students and others when schools are reopened,” she stressed. Earlier in her address of welcome, the permanent secretary of the ministry, Mrs. Abosede Adelaja, reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to improving students’ learning outcomes.
