The workshop was organised with support from the TY Danjuma Foundation and was for teachers drawn from the Northern zone of the state comprising the headship of primary and junior secondary school teachers.

The P – SUBEB Executive Chairman said that the training was a public private partnership programme to support government’s efforts at ensuring qualitative education.

He said that there are cultural stereotype working against the girl child and that teachers and other stakeholders in the educational sector needed to work hard to ensure that the girl child was not seen as a second person but was given equal opportunity as the boy child.

Sule described the theme of the training workshop: “Linking Teachers Welfare With Quality and Standards” as apt and called on participants to ensure that they practiced what they learnt during the training and in turn retrained their colleagues.

The Executive Director of the Girls Education Mission International, an NGO, Mrs. Keturah Shammah, in her remarks, said that the objective of the training was to improve the quality of teachers in the six local government areas of the northern zone of Plateau.

Shammah said teacher training shouldn’t be neglected as teachers had a greater influence on children.

Similarly, the programme officer, monitoring and evaluation, TY Danjuma Foundation, Mr. Terso Akula, said that the foundation was founded in 2010 with the sole aim of giving back to the society.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Girls Education Mission International and the TY Danjuma foundation donated 600 texts books for primary six and JSS 3 pupils and students to the State Government for learning and improvement of quality of education in the state.

The State Commissioner for Education (Secondary) Mrs. Elizabeth Wapmuk, commended the NGO for donating the text books to the state government and for training teachers from the northern zone of the state.

Wapmuk said that it was only when teachers were trained that “we could have qualitative education and quality human capital development.”

According to her, it is only when we have good teachers, that there can be sound pupils and students.
