The Kano State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) says it has begun the training of 50 teachers on improvisation and toy making to enhance Early Child Care (ECC) development education.
The state Coordinator of ECC, Fatima Ibrahim, disclosed this at the inauguration of a five-day training programme for teachers in Kano on Monday.
According to her, the exercise is designed to expose teachers to the ‘Radio in Media Child-centred methodology’ to aid teaching and learning in the early stage.
She further explained that the training was also aimed at meeting up with the one-year pre-primary education curriculum, in line with the ‘Radio Chart’ methodology.
