HAPPY TEACHERS’ DAY TO US ALL!

The 2015 Teachers’ Day has come and gone but it was well celebrated in my State with Seminars and Workshops at different venues during which I was either a participant or Special Guest. Both were highly inspiring.

(1) The first one was organised by OMEP Nigeria Oyo State Chapter with the Train the Trainers Seminar for School owners, administrators and senior teachers who will in return train their teachers and caregivers.

Theme: “CURRENT TRENDS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION”.

Participants were later treated to lunch at the end of the Seminar.

(2) 2015 World Teachers’ Day Seminar/Workshop on Education for Sustainable Development anchored by RCCG Jesus Chapel & Noridge Education Network organised mainly for teachers from both public and private schools.
