In a bid to strengthen handwriting skills among pupils in Public Primary Schools across the State, the Ogun State Basic Education Ambassador, Mr. Francis Solanke, has organised a capacity-building workshop for 100 teachers.

The training which took place at Imo Methodist Primary School, Oke-Yeke, Abeokuta, drew participants from Public Primary Schools across Abeokuta North Local Government Education Authority.

He urged teachers to adhere strictly to these principles to enhance pupils’ academic performance.

Earlier, the organiser, Mr. Solanke, stated that the workshop was designed to equip teachers with practical, research-based and sustainable strategies to improve learners’ handwriting and overall classroom outcomes. He commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for creating an enabling environment that promotes effective teaching and learning.
