Hard-to-reach primary schools and Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) in Edo State are set for a major improvement in their modes of operation, learning and management as the Edo State Universal Basic Education Board begins full implementation of EdoBEST 2.0 reform in the system.
The executive chairman of Edo Universal Basic Education Board (Edo SUBEB), Mrs. Ozavize Salami made this known at a media parley which coincided with a 10-day training of Junior Secondary School teachers in Benin City.
In her presentation, the Edo SUBEB chairman stated that teachers and headteachers from 148 rural and hard-to-reach primary schools underwent the EdoBEST induction training to enable them to adopt the EdoBEST pedagogy in their schools in January 2022.
At present, over 1,800 teachers and principals from Junior Secondary Schools are undergoing an advanced version of the same training to enable them to also adopt EdoBEST methods.
Upon completion of the training, 240 junior secondary schools will be added to the programme.
Mrs. Salami noted that all the trained personnel have been equipped with technological gadgets and skills to use them.
She added that they will continue to receive professional support from several field officers over the next few years.
“After the first training in January; what we noticed is that the teachers and headteachers that had undergone it came alive.
“They felt very included, many of them were of the view that at least the children they represent can also benefit from the training.
“Many openly expressed their willingness to take the reform back, to improve learning outcomes among the pupils they teach,” Mrs. Salami said.

“Of the 148 schools onboarded into the EdoBEST programme in January 2022, 130 have been visited by Edo SUBEB officials afterwards.
“The communities were so excited to see our officials. It was almost as if the governor himself went to visit them. Some even brought out canopies to welcome our officials,” Mrs. Salami said.
Speaking on the ongoing 10-day training of Junior Secondary School Teachers, Mrs. Salami noted that for the most part, these are teachers with higher qualification.
“So far they are receiving the training with so much enthusiasm and their response and engagement is at such a high level.
“We are very hopeful of the impact this training will have on their students as they go back to school.
Launched in 2021, EdoBEST 2.0 is an expanded version of the EdoBEST programme which was launched in 2018.
INFO DAILY reports that the induction training exposes participants to modern ways of using computers in delivering impactful lessons and administer schools.
Teachers and principals were also trained in areas including child protection, modern motivation and classroom management techniques, community and stakeholder management as well as student performance evaluation and management.

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has cautioned Academic Staff Union of Universities ,ASUU, over its call to the Vice Chancellor of Federal University of Technology Owerri, FUTO, Prof. Nnenna Oti, to resign.
It warned the university lecturers’ organisation to rescind from such ugly move or face the wrath of students.
The students’ body which noted that the FUTO vice chancellor had not done anything wrong to deserve such call, accused ASUU of being responsible for instability in the nation’s universities.
Recall that members of ASUU, Owerri zone, had last Friday, demanded the immediate resignation of the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology Owerri, Prof. Nnenna Oti, over alleged corrupt practices and anti-union activities.

ASUU, through its Zonal Coordinator, Dennis Aribodor, at press conference in Awka, Anambra State capital,demanded immediate resignation of the FUTO Vice Chancellor.
The union is composed of members from Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Federal University of Technology Owerri, Imo State University, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umuahia and Nnamdi Azikiwe University,Awka.
But reacting to ASUU demand while addressing the media, Sunday evening, in Abuja, NANS’ Vice President,Comrade Ezenagu Victor, while noting that ASUU had long deviated from its core mandate,called on the federal government to proscribe the union.
He said: “It has become expedient to address the unbecoming attitude of the leadership of Academic Staff Union of Universities. The latest of which is the provocative call by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU,zonal leaders for the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology,Owerri,to resign her position over alleged corruption.
“We feel concerned to react to the ASUU demand because the Vice Chancellor of FUTO, Prof. Nnena Oti, is a mentor to many of us, particularly, our female folks. We were shocked when we read about the ASUU demand in most national dailies about the woman who has personified integrity, honesty and transparency. Sequel to this, NANS has been able to carry out investigation by interacting with both students and staff of the institution”.

“Although we were not able to have any discussion with members of FUTO Management as they said part of the issue we wanted to inquire of was already in court. Our finding has shown that the allegations against the vice chancellor were not only unfounded, but also malicious and wicked. Testimonial evidences garnered by NANS points to the fact that the action of the ASUU leaders is a mere political vendetta.”
NANS claimed that the alleged attack on Prof. Nnenna was because of her gender, as well as transparency in the discharge of her duties as Vice Chancellor.
“Those who lost to her during the vice chancellorship contest as well as those who could not use her to achieve their ungodly aims during the national assignment have resulted to using ASUU to grind their axe with her, thus making the university ungovernable,” he alleged.
He spoke further: “We, the National Association of Nigerian Students, wish to draw the attention of ASUU in particular and the public in general, that those fighting the Vice Chancellor of FUTO by proxy are obviously threatening peace and tranquility in the university.

“We are already informed that the disturbance is aimed at causing industrial action at the university so as to bring her to disrepute at the expense of students’ learning. It should be well noted that all industrial disputes have major side effects on students who suffer untold hardship during and after such disputes.”
Some of the effects,he mentioned,include waste of students’ precious time, amounting to the students spending longer years in the university and waste of resources, as student end up paying more school fees.
