LAGOS—Teaching has been described as  the most vital and strategic profession for national development as its role in producing educated and useful persons in the society cannot be underestimated

Director General, Public Service Staff Development Centre, PSSDC, Mrs. Olubunmi Fabamwo, made the assertion  in Lagos at an induction course organised for newly recruited teachers in conjunction with the Teachers Establishment Pensions Office, TEPO.

According to her; “teachers are crucial to transmitting and implanting social values such as equality, tolerance and cultural understanding.”
She advised the newly employed teachers to take advantage of the training in learning the ethics, norms and values of the teaching profession.

In order to have a robust course content, TEPO in collaboration with PSSDC designed a well structured training that is intended to launch the new teachers into the rudiments of the profession.
The course content contains sessions such as; Effective Classroom Teaching and Management, School Improvement Strategies, The Public Service Structure: Its Rules, Regulations, Establishment Matters, Ethics of the Teaching Profession and Personal Development Strategies.
