Kwara State has launched a major digital literacy and classroom innovation training for 1,800 primary school teachers across its 16 local government areas, marking a significant push to modernize public education.
The ten-day capacity-building workshop, which kicked off Monday at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School in Ilorin, is part of the KwaraLEARN initiative in collaboration with KWSUBEB and the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development.
Education Commissioner Dr. Lawal Olohungbebe said the training aligns with the state’s goal of equipping teachers with 21st-century skills and digital tools to improve classroom delivery and learning outcomes.
“Our teachers are the foundation of the system,” he said. “This training is a critical step in moving from analog to digital education across the state.”
He praised teachers for their dedication and assured them of continued support through regular training and innovative resources.
KwaraLEARN’s Managing Director, Mrs. Laide Abel, urged participants to take full advantage of the sessions and remain open to new teaching methods that meet global standards.
The state government says the programme is part of a broader strategy to improve learning outcomes, boost teacher effectiveness, and build a tech-driven education ecosystem in Kwara.
