Anambra gets 283 adult education centres

Governor Willie Obiano has established over 283 adult and non-formal education centres across Anambra State, the Commissioner for Basic Education, Prof. Kate Omenugha, has said.

The commissioner revealed this in Awka, yesterday, while opening a five-day training of over 200 teachers on contemporary teaching skills, development for facilitators of adults and non-formal schools, in collaboration with Anambra State Education Programme Investment Project (ANSEPIP).Prof. Omenugha said the centres were spread across the state mostly for adults who were not privileged to attend formal education.

According to her, what the governor has done is to have a centre for non-formal and adult education for any market being built in the state.“Some of them are located in the town halls, schools and markets. So, even if you are trading in the market, you can attend classes in the evening before going home,” she said.
