FG Committed to Teacher Improvement’



he Federal Government is committed to improving the quality of teachers, because their position is central to the provision of quality education, Minister of State for Education, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi has said.
Gbagi, who made the remark at the formal flag-off the distribution of 500 computer sets, instructional materials and other learning kits to all National Teachers’ Institute (NTI)’s Study Centres across the country, held at the NTI Headquarters in Kaduna, recently, said the above could be achieved through professional development programmes provided by the Institute.
He said the distribution was a demonstration of Government’s determination to move the education sector to the next level and expressed optimism that the materials being distributed, if properly utilised, would go a long way in improving teaching and learning.
