ENUGU STATE TO IMPROVE EDUCATION IN THE STATE

By



The Enugu State Government says it has leveraged on the ‘Radio School’ programme of the South Saharan Social Development Organisation (SSDO) to improve education in the state.
The state Commissioner of Education, Prof. Uche Eze, said this in Enugu on Wednesday during a town hall meeting.
The radio school programme of SSDO involves the broadcast of selected subjects by trained and experienced teachers, while the target students listen and direct questions to their class teachers.
The commissioner, who was represented by the Director of Schools in the ministry, Mr Frank Okoro, said that the state government was open to such collaborations with development partners.
Eze said that radio school broadcast had been embedded in the school curriculum as an in-school programme and “it has improved mass literacy across the state as most people listen from their homes”.
Speaking, the Executive Director of SSDO, Mrs Grace Nwobodo, said the town hall meeting was a prelude to another flagship radio programme of the group aimed at addressing the exclusion of youths in politics.
