Edo SUBEB Partners UBEC On Empowering 1500 Educators Through PTDP – The Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) in collaboration with the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Abuja, has successfully concluded a week-long Professional Teachers’ Development Programme (PTDP) in Edo State.
According to the Executive Chairman of Edo SUBEB, Barr. (Mrs.) Onomen Briggs, the programme was delivered simultaneously in over thirty school-based centres across the three senatorial districts of the State.
The initiative brought together more than 1,500 primary and junior secondary school teachers alongside their heads of school. By hosting the workshops on-site, SUBEB ensured that both instructional leaders and classroom practitioners shared a unified commitment to elevating the standard of basic education in the State.
During the one-week development training, participants immersed themselves in learner-centred methodologies that emphasised collaborative inquiry and differentiated instructions.
They explored evidence-based assessment techniques with hands-on practice, using digital tracking tools and how to integrate readily accessible educational softwares and online resources into daily lesson plans.
To make core subjects more engaging and memorable, facilitators demonstrated creative pedagogical approaches, including gamification, storytelling, and project-based learning.
Mrs. Briggs with the Edo SUBEB’s Training Desk Officer, Mrs. Amarachi Itenebe, presented certificates of participation to deserving educators.
The presentations served both to recognise individual dedication and to reinforce the State’s commitment to continuous professional growth. UBEC dispatched monitoring officers, Iduma Christian and Lawani Gloria to conduct independent oversights at various training hubs to ensure consistency in delivery and to garner actionable feedbacks for future programme refinement.

Addressing the teachers and school leaders, Barr. Briggs underscored the urgency of applying newly acquired skills immediately, saying, “This generation of learners belongs to Gen Alpha.
To support their development and track their progress, we as educators must meet them on the platforms where they spend most of their time; including TikTok and Instagram. By staying abreast of digital trends, we not only enrich our pedagogy but also remain vigilant guardians against social vices, even within the classroom.”
Stakeholders appreciated the intensive training, saying it represented a significant leap forward in building educators’ capacity to deliver high-quality instruction. More sessions are already being planned for, to sustain the momentum and to ensure that Edo State’s teaching workforce continues to refine its practice, embrace innovations, and drive forward the Governor’s vision of “Quality Education for All.”
