The Chairman, Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board, ASUBEB, Dr. Vera Nwadinobi has urged Mission Education Secretaries to support the drive towards promoting quality education in the basic education sub-sector of the State.

 

Dr Nwadinobi was speaking during a meeting with all the Mission Education Secretaries in the State.

Dr. Nwadinobi canvassed for the support of the mission Education Secretaries towards tackling challenges facing the basic education in various primary schools in the State.

 

According to her, the challenges include collection of illegal levies by the Headteachers.

The ASUBEB chairman also identified as another challenge the issue of close monitoring of teachers, especially the ones newly employed by Governor Chukwuma Soludo and submitting reports on teachers who have absconded from duty.

 

She emphasized the need for posting of Headteachers from only the list of those successful in the Headteachers examination conducted by the Board.

Dr. Nwadinobi encouraged the Mission Education Secretaries to key into the digitization of the entire process in Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board by ensuring that the pupils access their results at the end of every term from its portal managed by the Board’s Information Communication Technology consultant.

 

She said the Board will collaborate with the mission Education Secretaries and the Officers-in charge of the twenty-one Local Government Education authorities to monitor, evaluate and come up with the list of outstanding Headteachers, teachers and pupils.

In their vote of thanks, the Mission Education Secretary Onitsha Archdiocese, Reverend Father Paschal Onwugbenu and that of Ecclesiastical Province of the Niger, Venerable Ifeanyi Umeh thanked the Chairman for the way she is piloting the affairs of the State Education Board and pledged their continuous support towards achieving quality education for Anambra pupils.
