The Digest:
The Abia State Government has flagged off the State Accelerated Basic Education Programme, which compresses the six-year primary school curriculum into three years. Commissioner for Information Okey Kanu said the programme targets those who missed out on early education and did not obtain their first school-leaving certificate. The programme is being handled by the State Agency for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education.
Key Points:
- The programme aims to provide a second chance for those who missed formal education.
- Over 7,280 candidates scored above 40 per cent in the teachers’ recruitment test.
- Successful candidates will be communicated with in due course.
- The recruitment process is designed to be transparent and fair.
- Governor Alex Otti's administration is driving the initiative.
The accelerated programme offers an alternative pathway for adult learners in Abia State.
