Edo introduces Teachers Professional Development Day

Edo State Government has introduced Teachers Professional Development Day to appreciate and celebrate the contributions of teachers to the development of the state’s education system.

The state Commissioner for Education, Dr. Joan Oviawe, disclosed this to journalists during an event to commemorate this year’s World Teachers Day, with the theme: “The transformation of education begins with teachers,” held in Benin City.

The commissioner, in a statement signed by the media aide to the state governor, Crusoe Osagie, said the event would be marked every third Wednesday of June from next year in commemoration of the launch of EdoBEST 2.0.

“We have created a Teachers Professional Development Day. It’s a day in a term where the children don’t come to school but a day for teachers to take stock of their contributions to the education system and what they need to do more to improve the system.

Earlier, the Chairman, the National Union of Teachers (NUT), Edo State Chapter, Bernard Ajobiewe, commended the state Governor, Godwin Obaseki, for his commitment to teachers’ development.
