Building upon the commitments outlined in the Basic and Secondary Education Ministry's Ministerial Press Briefing held on Thursday to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration, the Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) is set to launch a comprehensive programme of initiatives aimed at empowering its teaching workforce and fostering a dynamic educational environment.


As a follow up to the Ministry's press briefing, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Teaching Service Commission, Bopo Oyekan-Ismaila explained that TESCOM will train a first batch of 5,000 teachers out of its 18,438 educators in the State.


The Permanent Secretary said the ambitious capacity-building programme will equip teachers with the latest pedagogical approaches and subject-matter expertise to enhance the quality of teaching in Lagos State's post-primary schools.


Furthermore, in an innovative move to foster cross-pollination of best practices, TESCOM is designing an Exchange Programme between teachers in public and private post-primary schools, a unique initiative to synchronise teaching methodologies and create a more cohesive and effective secondary education landscape across Lagos.


Noting that technology is essential in modern education, Oyekan-Ismaila hinted that TESCOM is set to distribute 1,000 essential devices to teachers across the Education Districts.


Her words: "This strategic provision of tools aims to empower educators to integrate technology seamlessly into their teaching practices and enrich the learning experience for students."


Speaking further, the Permanent Secretary said a Teachers Conference will soon be held to serve as a platform for dialogue and direct interaction with the Ministry's leadership.


While expressing delight that these forward-thinking initiatives of TESCOM aligned with the Basic and Secondary Education Ministry's focus on teacher empowerment and innovation, Oyekan-Ismaila affirmed that Lagos State is unwavering in its commitment to providing students with world-class educational standards.
