By equipping head teachers and administrators with the necessary skills and knowledge, the programme seeks to catalyse positive transformation within educational institutions across the state.

“Through a combination of workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions, the participants will be empowered to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and enact meaningful change within their respective spheres of influence,” the release stated.
