Teachers are essential school-level determinants of children learning. They are the most important curriculum implementers. Without them, no education policy can survive and  they are expected to be very capable and highly productive. Teachers performance to a large extent affects not only the output (citizens) they produce, but also the educational system and teaching profession at large so kin interest must be paid to why teachers performance is low... Poor teacher performance apart from very low motivation teachers get in terms of their pityable renumeration, to a large extent boils down to the pre-service training amongst others... Like the saying goes, "you can't give what you don't have" . Some of these curriculum and training systems our pre teachers are expose to are rather obsolete. They don't correlate with our present day "jet age". Thank goodness EdoBest has come to the rescue of Edo basic education teachers in this aspect. We also h...

The palace walls were made from the Benin red soil or Ulakpa.Instead of using water to mix the mud(Earth)for setting the walls,Palm Oil(for cooking)was used.The walls are between two and four feet thick.One of the miracles that had made the walls of the palace of the Oba Of Benin-Eguae Oba N'Edo-wonder and baffle the modern Architecture is that despite age and the weather conditions they have had to go through,no part had cracked.

The only difference between You and your Landlord is foresight.  Bushes becomes houses. Aso rock was once a bush like wise white house. Everywhere humans now occupy was once a bush...it has been this way from the beginning of time. That you haven't owned a house today is probably because you want to buy or build in the city. Good dream i must say,but how long have you been dreaming and watch people finish their house?  While you're still dreaming,people like your landlords are busy buying bushes and transforming them into houses that people pay to live in. Remember,the place you now call home was a thick bush that your landlord had the foresight to buy and build. Better stop dulling yourself and take a clue from your landlord and put your #FORESIGHT to use by buying a land today.  become a wise tenant today. Make a move.

Discrimination is the practice of treating one or more persons differently from how you treat others by being bias, unjust, less tolerant or less fair to them base on various reasons. Teachers are human beings and as such, embedded with bias and social predujices. While it is highly unlikely that a teacher would consciously act on these biases which eventually result in discrimination,it does happen.Teachers must watch out not to handle pupils base on their social class, ethnicity, intelligence, behavior, physical disabilities, religious backgrounds, etc The experiences children get in their classrooms to a large extent, determine what and how they see themselves generally.While we do not intend to discriminate, subtle differences in perception and handling them go a long way to have some long lasting effects... Effects of Discrimination on Pupils *** They are likely to have negative attitude about school, increased absenteeism, and risk of being a dropout. *** It lowers the...

We all know the type of kid; he or she may be your biggest headache. They are hostile to you and their peers, they don’t seem to listen, and don’t do what they are told. Its almost like they want to upset you. It seems like the more you try to manage them the more they resist…. Sounds Familiar? Students with oppositional and defiant behavior tend to have a pattern of negative and abrasive interactions with others (teachers and peers). These kids are special and must be carefully approached...you carefully monitor your own responses. You must never loose it with them…you must master yourself! Things you may do to make it worse: • Lose your temper (yelling or using sarcasm tend to escalate oppositional kids) • Flogging the living daylight out of the child • Sending the child out of your class • Engage in the interaction in front other students • Try to persuade the student or worse…bribe the student • Threaten the student • Adding more and more consequences ...
