Delivering the welcome address, the National Coordinator, DRC, Professor Bashir Galadnci representing the Executive Secretary of UBEC, Dr Hamid Bobboyi appreciated the teachers for taking part in the training. He explained that Effective Schools strive to enhance the quality of learning outcomes in the basic education sector by providing a combination of conventional and digital learning methods, which are an extension of the smart school programme.
