LAGOS State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to reward excellent service delivery in Lagos State Post-Primary Teaching Service, just as he pledged 20 cars to deserving teachers across the six Education Districts in the State.
Sanwo-Olu, who disclosed this today during the virtual training of the teachers tagged: “Eko Educators Webinar Performance Series 3.3”, noted that teachers are key change agents, who will be remembered for shaping the future generation of leaders, and advised them to embrace technology in improving the quality of teaching to enhance their productivity.
He said: “This is the era of technology and it is working well for us. Technology has become a very strong tool that we cannot do away with, in our everyday lives. With technology, we can think locally and act globally.”
He averred that great teachers are always remembered for the lives they shaped, just as they derive satisfaction in seeing their students become role models and future leaders.
On her part, the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, emphasised that any school system thrives on the quality of teaching and learning, which is exhibited through the quality of teachers with a multiplier effect on the students.
While appreciating all Lagos State teachers for indulging in self-development to complement the government-organised training, Adefisayo commended TESCOM board for the idea of the virtual training, which is vital to the progress of the education sector in the State.
She noted that, as the present administration’s battle against the COVID-19 continues, teachers are expected to put in their best in guiding the children aright, especially those who might have gone through different forms of abuse and trauma during the lockdown period.
