 Renowned 20th-century philosopher Jürgen Habermas dies at 96 Jürgen Habermas, the German philosopher widely recognized for his contributions to modern political thought and democratic theory, died Saturday in Starnberg, Germany, at the age of 96. His passing was confirmed in a statement by his Berlin-based publisher, Suhrkamp Verlag, which noted that Habermas’s work, translated into more than 40 languages, had left a lasting impact on global intellectual discourse.

 Anambra Ministry of Education Hosts 4-Day Capacity-Building Workshop for Private School Owners, Teachers too


By Obiageli Nwankwo


The Anambra State Ministry of Education has commenced a 4-day capacity-building workshop for private school proprietors and teachers at St. John of God Secondary School, Awka, designed to equip participants with modern teaching and administrative skills required in 21st-century schools.


Speaking at the event, the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, said the workshop is part of the state’s drive to align private schools with the mission and vision of the present administration for equitable and quality education.


She stressed the importance of teachers’ quality in national development, noting that continuous training is necessary to keep educators updated with new methods of teaching. She urged school proprietors to attend seminars at least twice yearly and cautioned against prioritizing monetary gains over the delivery of quality education.


“Every proprietor must constantly reflect on the kind of education being offered and ask: can my students compete favorably with their counterparts at the local, national, and international levels?,” she said.


Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Ifeoma Agbaizu, encouraged participants to pay attention to the training, adding that the Ministry would embark on monitoring visits to ensure implementation of the lessons, particularly those tied to school approval standards.


In her lecture on “Aide Memoires for Lesson Observation in Quality Assurance and Continuous Learning,” Dr. Bibianna Okoli stressed the need for a conducive learning environment, a clearly defined school mission and vision, and harmonized continuous assessment.


Another facilitator, Dr. Tochukwu Melifeonwu, introduced participants to Robotics, its evolution, and its relevance in today’s educational system.


The workshop, which began on August 26, will end on August 29, 2025.
