The Executive Chairman of the Jigawa State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Professor Haruna Musa, has reassured teachers that the ongoing teachers’ assessment test is aimed at reforming the system, not fault-finding.
He stated this on Sunday while addressing teachers at the assessment test centre in Dutse.
He said the exercise is part of the state government’s efforts to reform the education sector, not to engage in witch-hunting or fault-finding.
Prof. Musa emphasised that the board’s primary objective is to work collaboratively with educators to identify practical ways of improving the quality of basic education in the state.
He noted that teachers remain critical partners in the reform process, stressing that their experiences, challenges and suggestions are essential in shaping policies that will deliver meaningful and lasting impact.
“Our collective mission is not to look for faults or shortcomings among you. Rather, our focus is to work hand-in-hand with you to strengthen and reform our basic education system,” he stated.
He further urged teachers to remain committed to their duties by continuing to inspire and nurture pupils, while also embracing innovation and positive change in their classrooms.
Musa expressed confidence that, with sustained collaboration and mutual trust, Jigawa State would achieve significant progress in its basic education system.
He also commended teachers for their dedication and unwavering service, wishing them a productive and fulfilling week ahead.
