The Abia State Government has announced plans to reduce the emphasis on theoretical teaching and implement practical methods for teaching science subjects in secondary schools across the state.
The state Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Goodluck Ubochi, made this statement in Umuahia on Thursday when a science competition for all science teachers in the state was launched.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that ASSPPAA-ISBORS Platforms Limited organized the competition in collaboration with the Abia State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education.
Mr. Ubochi, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Uchechukwu Kalu, explained that this initiative aims to enhance students’ performance in science subjects such as physics, chemistry, and biology.
He noted that the science competition would showcase the talents of science teachers and positively impact the performance of senior secondary school students in science-related fields.
Mr. Ubochi praised Governor Alex Otti for his commitment to education, which includes the regular payment of teachers’ salaries and the provision of educational facilities. He remarked that Abia teachers are “now receiving their rewards on earth.”
Additionally, Hope Nwosu, the director of Science, Technical, and Vocational Education in the ministry, urged the state government to ensure that science teachers make up a significant portion of the proposed mass recruitment of teachers in the state.
Ms. Nwosu commended the state government for rehabilitating technical schools and called for these schools to be equipped with sufficient science laboratories, stating that the lack of facilities had previously hindered students’ performance in public schools.
Patrick Ochuba, the co-founder of the Science Teachers Championship, stated that the state would experience a shift in the teaching approach for science education from a theory-based to a practical-focused method.
He revealed that the best science teacher and student would each receive N50,000 and N20,000 monthly, respectively, as an incentive. Mr. Ochuba encouraged all school principals to register their schools for the competition.
