Progress
The knowledge base of beginning teachers is very crucial to their professional performance hence the introduction of the Primary and JHS Education curriculum seeks to enhance the knowledge base of the trainee teachers. Further, it seeks to integrate effectively teacher knowledge with professional performance to ensure improvement in teaching and learning.
The content of the programme therefore starts from the revision of SHS work through the second year of the 4-year B.Ed programme offered in any relevant teacher training university. The profile of students who apply to enter the programme will be rigidly examined to ensure that students with sound knowledge base are admitted.
