Teachers in the Otuocha Education Zone have commenced a digital skills training programme aimed at strengthening their capacity to integrate technology into teaching and learning.

The Solution Teachers Digital Skills Training, which commenced on Aug. 24, is ongoing at the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre of Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe (NOCEN).

The programme is designed to equip participating teachers with practical digital competencies for classroom engagement, lesson delivery and the adoption of innovative teaching methods.

It also exposes the teachers to relevant digital tools and technologies to enhance instructional delivery, improve students’ learning experiences and promote innovation in education.

The training is part of efforts to develop a digitally competent teaching workforce capable of responding to the changing demands of education in the digital age.

Through practical sessions and hands on activities, the teachers are gaining confidence in integrating technology into their teaching activities.

The initiative is expected to contribute to a technology driven education system by equipping teachers with relevant skills for effective teaching in an increasingly digital environment.

The ongoing training is also expected to strengthen the use of digital tools in classrooms across the Otuocha Education Zone.
