approach for basic schools
Sodiq Oyeleke
The Director of Studies of the Muslim
Students Society of Nigeria, Ebute Metta Area Council, Mr Abdulrasheed Adeoye has
said introducing the subject teacher approach in primary schools will better
the understanding of pupils in all subjects.
Adeoye, who spoke at the group’s Zonal Camp
in Lagos, said the approach would enhance specialisation of teachers in a
particular subject, adding that will result into better delivery in classes.
He said, “Developing education is not all
about building structures, the worst teachers cannot manage the best structure.
“The government should try to employ more
teachers that will specialise in a particular subject, because for primary schools,
it is not good for a teacher to be taking all subjects. At least, from the
upper basics in primary school should have subject teachers too like it is
obtainable in the junior and senior secondary schools.
“It is not good for a teacher to take
variety of subjects. More teachers should be trained so that every teacher will
specialise in their field and that will assist every pupils understanding,” he
added
He noted that the pupils are the bedrock of
the nation and must be adequately provided for.
He said, “Youth development should start
from the rudiment, which is the basic school, because it is what determines the
effectiveness of a child in the secondary school. The government should focus
on the primary school for the children to have good foundation that will benefit
the country later in the future.”
The Camp Director, Mr Musa showunmi said
the camp was a training programme aimed at educating pupils away from
distraction and corruption in the society.
He said, “We all know that our society is
corrupt and religious knowledge is the only way to combat it.
“One of the things basic schools should
improve on is the religious study, because most of our youths are lacking in
this regard. It is not only in mosques and churches that they should only do
religious studies they should also be taught in school, so that we can have a
brighter future in the country.”
