Lagos retrains maths teachers for effectiveness

The Lagos State government has sent no fewer than 15 Mathematics teachers in the state public secondary schools for retraining at the National Mathematical Center in Abuja.

The state Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye disclosed this, saying the effort was to make the participants more effective in class and in turn improve their students’ performance in the subject.

She advised them to come up with new methods of teaching and make the subject more interesting and appealing to students in order to improve their performance in external examinations.

While identifying maths as a major challenge to many students, Oladunjoye noted that the subject was the bedrock of development of any country. “That is why I am imploring the participants to come up with new knowledge and skill from the training and be able to impart these on their colleagues back home,” she advised. The beneficiaries include: Mr. Mufutau Olabiyi of Dairy Farm Secondary School, Agege; Mrs. Regina Egbe of Muslim Junior College, Egbe; Mr. Ismaila Salami of Epe Senior Grammar School, Epe; Mr. Ganiyu Qudri of Boys’ Senior Academy, Lagos Island; Mr. Adesesan Mureni Lawal of Government Senior College, Surulere and Mr. Olawunmi Oguntoyinbo of Mainland Senior High School, Mainland, among others
