Educationists have called on relevant stakeholders to ensure training and retraining of teachers for improved teaching and learning in Nigeria.
At a programme in Lagos, experts also urged teachers to embrace technology and artificial Intelligence for improved teaching.
It’s a meeting of experts, who are concerned about the future of education in Nigeria.
