She said this in Abuja, at the opening ceremony of a three-day training workshop aimed at developing the capacities of Local Government Education Authority,LGEA school support officers, from different parts of the country.

The challenge on the school support officers by the UBEC boss was in line with the core mandate of the commission on ensuring the delivery of quality basic education to all Nigerian children.

In his opening remarks, the National Coordinator of the UBEC Digital Resource Centre, Prof. Bashir Galadanci, highlighted the important role of the school support oficers in strengthening the basic education sector of the country through effective monitoring and mentorship of teachers and administrators in schools.

He noted that it was appropriate that the first UBEC-organized workshop during the tenure of the new Executive Secretary was targeted at school support officers who performed critical quality assurance responsibilities at the grassroots level.

The training workshop themed:”Empowering SSOs to Champion and Support Technology Integration”, was designed to upskill trainees in the understanding of educational technologies and their effective integration into the teaching process for improved learning outcomes.

The training programme also aimed to foster communication and collaboration skills to facilitate effective support and mentorship between the SSOs and school personnel.

The training exercise which attracted participants from across the country, aimed to align them with the core mandates of UBEC in ensuring the delivery of quality basic education to all Nigerian children.
