“There are testimonies to these about the quality of learning that we have already imparted on some of the students. 

“Some people could not read before now but now they can read. I want to praise to the teachers for their strength and efforts.

“One of the key things we are doing is that we are not compromising standards in line with regulatory authorities and in line with best practice. 

“The minimum qualification of a teacher here must be an BED and you must have teaching certificate. We do not recruit people who do not have requisite qualification that is the benchmark here. 

“Our NCE holder are class assistants. We ensure we pay our teachers well, give them some welfare and ensure they are comfortable,” he said.
