The Edo State College of Education in Abudu, Orhionmwon Local Government Area, which was revamped by the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration, is preparing to begin a new academic session.
The governor recently announced that the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) approved the establishment of the college with three campuses in Abudu, Igueben and Afuze, catering for the state’s three senatorial districts.
The Abudu campus is expected to serve as a Special Training Centre for teachers in the Edo Basic Education Sector Transformation (EDOBEST) programme and open up new opportunities for development and capacity building in the state.
According to Governor Obaseki, “Each school is specializing in a specific aspect of teacher education. The one in Abudu will have a digital training centre to train primary school teachers, the school in Igueben will focus on Secondary school and science teachers while the one in Afuze will specialise in training teachers in Technical Education, Physical Education and Special Education.”
The college is expected to be a training ground for the Edo STAR Teaching Fellows program, which is being run through the Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), the Ministry of Education and Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN).
