"All Teachers Must Be Computer Literate or They Won't Be Promoted" Warns Anambra State Govt

The Anambra State government through its Commissioner for Education, Prof. Kate Omenugha has said it is mandatory for all teachers in the state to be computer literate, or such teacher should forget about promotion. The commissioner said though a lot of the teachers have been frowning against this development that would bring improvement in the education sector, but any teacher that fails to acquire the knowledge before January 2016 should forget about being promoted. Such teachers will remain where they are, she explained to journalists yesterday in her office. “There has been misinformation and misconception, with bad blood being generated on the policy of one-teacher-one-computer. When the NCE took the decision in 2012, it was binding on all states and because of the forward-looking nature of the present administration, we decided to implement it.

“When we took over, the state government evolved a blueprint on the implementation of the one-teacher-one-laptop policy and by January 2016, every teacher in the state must be computer literate, otherwise there will be no promotion for non-computer literate teachers.
“Similarly, any new teacher to be employed in the state must be computer literate. What we promised Anambra State people is to give our children an education that is competitive and no pupil can rise above his teacher that is not computer literate, a situation we do not want.
“We made it clear that teachers should key in into the programme voluntarily. It is not mandatory, contrary to what many people are insinuating. We know that making changes often come with resistance, but this is one change that is important for the future of education in our state,” she said.

Hey Prof what,can you just shut up and do the right thing.If you want the teachers to be computer literate,then make out a steady and a running program to teach the teachers,in fact that running program will serve a double purpose of teaching the teachers computer,as well as the student.I said shut up because you as a professor know even the universities are a mess.I did Computer 101 and Computer 102 in first and second semester of my Year 1 in University of Nigeria(UNN).I got A in both courses,when I look back it is very so funny because then,that was 1994,I never saw a computer before,so how can I get A in both computer 101 and 102 when I have not seen a computer before???.It is a mess,the education system is a mess,so Madam Prof. do not just pick on teachers alone,where do you want the teachers to learn computer?,when undergraduates in the best universities in Nigeria cannot access one,is it the College of Education that will give them one??.
