School should mould students for better future – Commissioner

The Lagos State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Jamiu Alli-Balogun, says school is not just about teaching and learning in classrooms, but also about positively impacting humanity.

Alli-Balogun made the remark at the opening of a two-day capacity-building seminar in Lagos, according to a statement by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Lagos State Examinations Board, Bakare Fatai, on Wednesday.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the seminar was organised by the Lagos State Examinations Board for tutors, heads of schools and other education stakeholders.

The commissioner said, “School is not for teaching and learning in the classroom alone, but also for moulding the totality of the lives of students for a better tomorrow.”

The commissioner emphasised the need to observe an additional hour in school.

He said that the extra hour to the normal closing time was meant for reading and extracurricular activities by students.

He urged teachers to take cognizance of the three domains of education  –  cognitive,  affective and psychomotor.

“These are a variety of methods in professional development aimed at promoting mindsets and behaviours that enhance the learning process and create a culture of career and readiness for every student.

“The importance of having a mutual and friendly relationship between teachers and students cannot be overemphasised, because such a relationship gives students a sense of belonging,” Alli-Balogun said.

The commissioner charged teachers to improve their attitudes and be friendly with members of their immediate communities.
