School leaders trained on foundational literacy and numeracy programme

Education officials organized a state-level orientation programme targeting headmasters of school complexes to build awareness and understanding of the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) initiative. The session focused on enabling school leaders to effectively oversee the implementation of foundational skills development within their institutions.

The FLN programme represents a structured approach to ensuring students develop essential reading, writing, and mathematical competencies during their primary years of education. School complex headmasters, as key administrative figures, play a crucial role in coordinating classroom activities, resource allocation, and monitoring progress toward learning outcomes.

During the orientation, participants received guidance on programme objectives, implementation strategies, and monitoring mechanisms. The training equipped headmasters with practical tools and frameworks necessary to support teachers in delivering foundational skills instruction and tracking student advancement.

Education authorities emphasized the importance of headmaster engagement in translating the FLN initiative into classroom practice. The orientation marked a significant step in establishing institutional capacity across schools to address fundamental literacy and numeracy gaps among primary-level learners.
