Headteachers upgrade their managerial skills

Yendi (Northern Regin) 22 April

Head teachers of Primary and Junior Secondary schools under the Catholic Educational Unit in Yendi, Zabzugu-Tatale, Saboba-Chereponi and Gushegu-Karaga districts have ended a workshop at Yendi to upgrade their management and human relations skills.

The 69 participants discussed effective supervision, gender implications in education, managing people and promoting religious tolerance.

The Yendi district Director of Education, Mr J.A. Nangtomah, stressed the need for teachers to inculcate in their pupils the spirit of tolerance for them to know at an early age how to relate to their fellow human beings. Teachers should realise that they are role models in the community and should therefore live above board in order to inspire their pupils and the community.

Mr Nangtomah appealed to Parent Teacher Associations and Unit Committees to co-operate with school authorities to improve the standard of education in their localities.
