Nigerian Government Trains 500 Teachers to Combat School Bullying
The Federal Government is intensifying efforts to address bullying, abuse, and other threats to children in Nigerian schools by enhancing teacher training. This initiative is led by the Federal Ministry of Education in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and the Government of Japan.
A three-day Master Trainers Workshop on Safe Learning Environment, Gender-Responsive Pedagogy, and ICT Skills for Educators was held in Abuja, where 500 teachers received training. Dr. Uchenna Uba, the Director of the College of Education, represented the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad.
Uba emphasized the importance of ensuring that children learn in environments where their safety, dignity, and wellbeing are prioritized. She underscored the National Policy on Anti-Bullying in Nigerian Schools and the necessity of equipping teachers with skills to identify and respond to abuse, as they are often the first adults to notice signs of bullying or violence affecting learners.
