Mr Joel Jutum, UNICEF education Consultant in Adamawa, says payment of monthly incentive to motivate teachers in the state will soon commence.

It is the new method of teaching which is known as Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) where teachers will receive monthly incentives as motivation.

Jutum stated this on Wednesday during the supervision of the 10-day training for 750 teachers for the implementation of the programme in Fufore and Guyuk Local Government Areas (LGAs).

He pleaded with the participants to pay more attention to the training for effective implementation of the programme.

He charged the participants to get to understand each of the activities and use the manual as a guide for effective implementation.

Jutum said at the end of the training, each participants are expected to conduct assessment of 50 students from Primary 4-5-6 for the teaching of numeracy and literacy from familiar to official language.

According to him, if implemented successfully, the children will be able to read a sentence within three months.

He appealed to them to be committed to duty and train the students to become responsible citizens.

“Please you should not be among those who go to farm or market in the morning before coming to school.

“Because, implementation of TaRL programme is for two hours, one hour for numeracy and one hour for literacy and it is between 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.,” he said.

Dr Aisha Bashir, Member 1, State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), urged the participants to give maximum support and cooperate with facilitators for successful training.

She advised the participants to remain in schools and give their best for the children to have quality education and to succeed in their future endeavours.

According to her, Government is doing everything possible to ensure quality education, hence the need for them to put in their best (NAN)
