Adedoja made the disclosure on Saturday August, 20, 2022, at a workshop in Ogoja, Cross River State, where Principals of public and private secondary schools in Cross River State were in attendance. The important workshop took place in three centres in the senatorial districts of the state: Biase, Ikom and Ogoja and was attended by\u00a0nine hundred and sixty five (965) Principals and Vice principals of public and private secondary Schools in Cross Rivers State.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pioneer DG, Prof Adedoja remarked that, \u201cskill based curriculum in schools has become the trend in the 21st century knowledge economy, as the high rate of employable graduates from our educational system has become a great burden and concern to stake holders in the economic and educational sectors, and therefore needs to be addressed urgently.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

The TCTI, Biase, which is the initiative of the State Governor, Prof. Ben. Ayade has taken the re-skilling of teachers of vocational and technical education a top priority in its retraining program, admonishing that, other subject teachers must also undergo re-skilling for child cantered skill acquisition rather than place emphasis on curriculum based learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recall that the Deputy Governor of the state, Prof. Ivara Ejemot Esu, who declared the workshop open last week, referred to TCTI Biase as one of the best legacies of the Cross River State Administration led by Senator (Prof) Ben. Ayade.<\/span><\/p>\n
