At
least 16 teachers, drawn from Bakau Zone one, over the weekend concluded a
daylong seminar held at the PL George Nursery School in Bakau Newtown.
In
his welcoming remarks, the headmaster of the PL George Nursery School, Mohammed
Musa, said the seminar was meant to bring teachers from Bakau Zone One together
to share experiences and adopt best practices that will be passed on to the
pupils to become better future leaders.
He
said the services that teachers render to humanity are very important, hence
the forum was organised to better help the teachers to share experience and
knowledge and carve the way forward in building a good foundation for the
school children.
In
delivering a statement on behalf of the coordinator of Bakau Zone One teachers,
Anty Saffie Gomez, welcomed all the participants to the training, adding that
this was the first seminar of its kind in this zone and that she hoped the
trend would continue.
She
said the seminar would greatly help to improve the teachers’ knowledge where
they are lagging behind.
Also
speaking was Anty Saffie Bobb Jobe, headmistress of Aji Awa Bah Nursery School,
who said the seminar was long overdue as it has been planned for years and
thanked God for making it a reality.
She
said the seminar was very practical and interactive, adding that the topics
dealt with focused on what nursery teaching is all about and what is expected
from nursery school teachers.
They
also discussed other related best practices, she added, saying the knowledge

the teachers to build a good foundation for the children.
