It was a thrilling gathering as Association of Model Islamic Schools (AMIS) Oluyole Chapter in collaboration with Imam IbnulQayyim Islamic Foundation sponsored by L.O. Foundation organised a Free Workshop for 450 Educators on Saturday, 7th September, 2024.
The superb workshop themed: "Empowering Educators: Enhancing Professionalism and Learners' Performances" was held at Sablak Event Center, Sanyo-Soka Area, Ibadan

The two presentations were thought-provoking, exciting, fascinating inspiring and problem solving. Educators present at the workshop were urged to run standard schools, harness technology, make the curriculum flexible, cover it, varying teaching methodologies, upgrade their qualifications, adopt the use of relevant teaching aids, consider the 21st century children's needs among other important points raised in both presentations.
