Ogun State Government has charged French Language teachers to be good moulders of life in various schools, describing them as role models in all ramifications.
The State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu gave the charge during opening ceremony of the 2022 World French Teacher's Day, organised over the weekend by the Ministry at Lisabi Grammar School, Abeokuta, saying the programme is to promote speaking and teaching of French language.
The Commissioner noted that French was the second most widely learned language in countries of the World after English language, due to its capacity to foster economic and political cooperation, noting that over 350 million people across the globe were celebrating the day.
"I am imploring you to explore the opportunity of the conference to be a good molder of life to the learners. My Ministry is committed to the all-round development of the child's education at all levels", Arigbabu said.
He enjoined them to embark on professional and international examinations, as capacity-building and self-help in the language were important. He also charged the French tutors to maximise the opportunity of the workshop to build on their competence in the field.
Earlier in her welcome speech, the Director, Department of Education Support Services, Mrs. Bamidele Makinde said the importance of French subject to nation-building could not be overemphasised.
Speaking on behalf of other teachers, Mr. Olusegun Ogundeji appreciated the present administration for creating an enabling environment for education to thrive in the State.
