No fewer than 1,500 students in Rivers State public schools have received Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) training under a partnership between the state and Oando Foundation to expand access to quality science and technology education.
Rivers State government pledged to sustain and expand collaboration with relevant stakeholders to achieve universal access to basic education and improve the quality of learning for school-age children in the state, following a 30-school pilot programme, tagged the ‘School STEAM Project,’ funded by Oando Foundation.
Samuel Ogeh, executive chairman of the Rivers State Universal Basic Education Board (RSUBEB), speaking at the close-out ceremony held recently in Port Harcourt, assured that the board will integrate the project’s initiatives into the state’s teaching and learning processes.
Ogeh commended Oando Foundation for funding and organising the School STEAM Project.
“RSUBEB will consider the quality of learning and teaching established by the project as a standard for basic education in the state,” he said.
