NORTH-WEST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, NCCE TEAM UP TO STRENGTHEN TEACHER EDUCATION<\/p>\n
The North-West Development Commission, NWDC, has partnered with the National Commission for Colleges of Education, NCCE, to strengthen teacher education and address learning gaps across the seven states of the North-West region.<\/p>\n
The partnership was firmed up on Wednesday during a high-level meeting at the NWDC headquarters in Abuja, where the Commission hosted the Executive Secretary of NCCE, Dr. (Mrs.) Angela Ajala, FNAE.<\/p>\n
This was contained in a statement by NWDC’s
\nDirector of Press and Public Relations, Abdulrashid Safana<\/p>\n
According to the Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer of NWDC, Professor Shehu Ma’aji, the engagement is aimed at repositioning Colleges of Education as key drivers of regional development under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n
Welcoming the delegation, Professor Ma’aji underscored the Commission\u2019s commitment to human capital development.<\/p>\n
“The North-West cannot achieve sustainable development without investing in teachers. Colleges of Education are the foundation. As NWDC, we are committed to working with NCCE to improve training, infrastructure, and the perception of the teaching profession across our seven states,” the MD said.<\/p>\n
Earlier in her remarks, the Executive Secretary of NCCE disclosed that the partnership comes at a critical time when the status of teachers must be restored.<\/p>\n
“You cannot go through life without passing through a teacher, and yet it is the teacher that is at the bottom of the ladder. The respect for teachers has been lost. We must change this narrative by strengthening Colleges of Education and making teaching a first-choice profession,” She said.<\/p>\n
Stakeholders at the meeting resolved to deepen collaboration in three key areas: curriculum support, specialised teacher training, and advocacy to improve the quality and appeal of teacher education in Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Sokoto and Zamfara States.<\/p>\n
The NWDC reaffirmed that education will remain a priority pillar in its mandate to accelerate inclusive growth in the North-West.<\/p>\n
The North-West Development Commission was established to drive infrastructure and human capital development in the region. Education, skills, and youth and women development remain central to the Commission\u2019s strategy for regional transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
