In a move to revolutionise education through technology, the Anambra State Government has organized a “Train the Trainer” workshop, in collaboration with Edves, a leading provider of school management software solutions.
Held in Awka, the state capital, the workshop was a crucial milestone in the state’s efforts to integrate digital learning tools into public education.
The “Train the Trainer” model was strategically designed to create a sustainable framework for knowledge sharing by empowering selected educators to pass on their acquired skills to their colleagues in their respective schools.
During the workshop, Chiamaka Nnake, Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, emphasized Governor Soludo administration’s dedication to bridging the gap between public and private education through smart learning.
She underscored the importance of equipping community schools with state-of-the-art digital tools to provide every child in Anambra with equitable and future-ready education.
