The National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC) is set to partner The Civil Society Organization Community Advancement and Humanitarian Empowerment Initiative (CSCHEI) in capacity development of Senior Secondary School teachers in E-Learning, Technical and Sciences.

The Executive Secretary, National Senior Secondary Education Commission Dr. Iyela Ajayi who received the team of CSCHEI in his office in Abuja said the partnership is geared towards technically equipping the students and enhance their self-reliance for global impact.

Dr. Iyela who recounted the deplorable state of our senior secondary schools, highlighting the infrastructural deficit, unqualified teachers, obsolete curriculum, deplorable libraries and laboratories, amongst others, as the numerous challenges confronting the senior secondary education sub-sector.

He stated in specific terms that, the Nigerian government alone cannot fund education and as such, NSSEC which is saddled with the responsibility of repositioning the senior secondary education sector, has been fostering collaboration with the Development Partners and other relevant Agencies to ensure they achieve their mandate of empowering the students to be self-reliance upon graduation.

He then applauded the CSCHEI for partnering NSSEC in the area of capacity development of teachers in e-Learning, Technology, Innovation and Sciences.

Earlier, the Director General Civil Society Organization on Community Advancement and Humanitarian Empowerment Initiative (CSCHI) Hon. Kunle Yusuf revealed that, the CSCHI is an organization created to support government in promoting humanitarian, community development and social values.
Adding that as an organization that upholds transparency in its operations, the organization so believe in ‘No Teacher No
Development’
hence their effort to collaborate with NSSEC in retraining teachers in e- learning, technical and science subjects in line with the Goal 4 SDGs Agenda 2030.

He then added that the capacity building of the teachers will be taking place at the grass-root level in their various local government areas, to ensure inclusiveness of all schools, and where the Science and Technical teachers are not enough for each school, the organization he said, has put measures in place to bring back the retired but not tired science teachers to the classroom as resource persons.

This he said is to ensure that, the SDGs Global Agenda is achieved by ensuring the students are technically equipped to enhance their self-reliance for global impact upon graduation.
