The Katsina State Government has launched a large-scale teacher training programme and distributed 20,000 digital tablets to selected beneficiaries as part of efforts to improve learning outcomes and strengthen the education sector.
According to a statement on Friday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahima Kaulaha, the initiative was unveiled during a ceremony presided over by Deputy Governor Faruq Jobe, who represented Governor Dikko Radda.
The statement outlined several interventions undertaken by the government, including the distribution of school materials and 30,000 uniforms to underprivileged children, provision of specialised teaching aids for schools for the blind and deaf, installation of CCTV cameras in 130 schools to boost security, and the allocation of 70 motorcycles to monitoring officers for enhanced supervision, particularly in rural areas.
“These are not just statistics but a strategic investment in the future of our children,” the Deputy Governor said. “By equipping teachers with modern tools and the necessary training, we are aligning our educational system with global standards to prepare our students for 21st-century competitiveness.”
Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Hajiya Zainab Musawa, described the initiative as “a significant milestone” in restoring the glory of education in the state. She acknowledged the support of the World Bank, the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), and other partners, while reiterating the state government’s commitment to continuous teacher empowerment.
