The National Teachers Institute (NTI) Kaduna State has commen-ced training of 4,070 teachers nationwide under the Millennium DevelopmentGoals (MDGs) capa-city building program.
The program is meant to deve-lop teaching skills in some subjects including English language, Mathematics, Basic Science and Technology and Social Studies.
Director General of the institute, Dr. Aminu Ladan Sharehu, said a total of 110 primary and junior secondary school teachers were selected to take part in the exercise, adding “in all, we are targeting a total of 4,070 teachers for the 2014 retraining workshops.”
He said the workshop will enhance the skills and knowledge of teachers as well as learning strategies. Special Assistant to the President on MDGs, Mrs. Precious K.
