Kwara State Government has commenced a ten-day capacity-building workshop aimed at enhancing digital literacy, classroom innovation, and modern teaching techniques for no fewer than 1,800 primary school teachers across the sixteen local governments in the state.
Peter Amogbonjaye, the Press Secretary of the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, revealed this in a statement on Wednesday.
The training, which began on Monday at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School, Ilorin, is being organised by KwaraLEARN in partnership with the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (KWSUBEB) and the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development.
It forms part of the state government’s broader efforts to improve education delivery and align teaching practices with global 21st-century standards.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Lawal Olohungbebe, urged the teachers to remain dedicated to shaping the future of the state by equipping pupils with the necessary knowledge and values.

Olohungbebe reaffirmed the government’s commitment to transitioning from an analogue to a digital education system by supporting teacher effectiveness through continuous training and access to digital tools.
“The purpose of this training is to empower our teachers to meet the challenges of the digital age. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s administration is committed to global best practices in education, and this workshop is one of several initiatives aimed at transforming our learning environment,” he said.
He expressed optimism that the workshop would enhance classroom performance and urged participants to apply the knowledge gained for the benefit of their pupils and the education sector at large.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of KwaraLEARN, Mrs Laide Abel, congratulated the participants and encouraged them to remain attentive and actively engage in the sessions to maximise the benefits of the training.
