The Federal Capital Territory Administration has launched a skills and entrepreneurship training programme to equip teachers in Abuja with practical tools to prepare students for the demands of a modern global economy.
The two day workshop, opened on Monday by Dr Danlami Hayyo of the FCT Education Secretariat, represented by Mrs Joy Okeke, aims to move education beyond traditional classroom routines.
Hayyo stressed the need for innovation, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship in teaching, describing outdated methods as no longer effective in today’s fast changing world.
Dr Mohammed Ladan, Director of the FCT Secondary Education Board, said the training would help bridge the gap between learning and life skills.
According to him, the focus is now on producing job creators rather than job seekers.
The initiative is part of broader efforts to align education with real world needs and promote a workforce ready for self reliance and global relevance.
