In line with our strategic direction of improving the quality of teaching in Nigeria, the TY Danjuma Foundation is partnering Teacher Aid Initiative (TAI) on a project titled “STEM Teachers Fellowship in Ekiti”.
The project is aimed at enhancing the skills of teachers and educational managers by equipping them to excel in implementing Project-Based Learning activities and strategies in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in schools and classrooms.
150 teachers from 50 schools, encompassing both Basic and Senior Secondary levels, along with 20 education managers in the state, have commenced the 5-months long training on STEM and their significance, and identifying key challenges and opportunities in teaching STEM. The training also focuses on effective practical delivery of scientific concepts in classrooms.
Since inception, the Foundation has been committed to improving the quality of education in Nigeria. Its support for interventions in hard-to-reach communities and underserved areas have significantly contributed to creating access to quality education across the country.
