Ozavize Salami, the Executive Chairman of the Board of the Edo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), has revealed that the Board has embarked on 181 projects in primary and secondary schools in the state to improve on their infrastructure.
She made the revelation at a Press Conference the Board held at the JOOPSA, Benin City. She stated that the projects which are ongoing, include the construction and renovation of classrooms, perimeter fencing and toilets among others.
According to her 228 schools under the Edo Basic Education Transformation System (EdoBEST), have 346,757 pupils, with 15,125 digitally trained teachers, adding that governance across SUBEB and the schools has drastically improved.
She added that SUBEB has built a formidable crop of teachers who use proven modern classrooms and pupil management techniques to teach their pupils and bring them to scale.
According to Mrs Salami schools in the rural areas are hard to reach and as such cannot have the EdoBEST delivered to them as those in the urban areas necessitating a special learning package to be designed for them.
