To ensure that every pupil becomes a proficient reader and successful in all their academic subjects, Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) has trained 11,112 teachers and headteachers for the EKOEXCEL reading champion initiative.
The initiative aims to improve literacy and essential life skills that will help to close learning gaps and give pupils access to the world. It will also help to equip every school leader, teacher and staff with the technical knowledge and advocacy skills critical to helping Lagos State public primary school pupils become proficient readers.
Chairman, Education Secretaries, Amosu Akeem, in his remarks, expressed appreciation to SUBEB and the EKOEXCEL programme for introducing the initiative.
“The EKOEXCEL programme recognises and values the dedication and hardwork of teachers, acknowledging their significant role in shaping education and future of our children. This initiative serves as a motivation for teachers, assuring them that their efforts are recognised and appreciated,” he said.
