Few days to the 2015 World Teachers’ Day, some 41 schools of the Buea municipality have received didactic materials from the Buea Council, in a bid to assist them in the teaching process.

                The revelation to assist these teachers was made public last Friday October 2, 2015 by the Mayor of the Buea Council, Patrick EkemaEsunge in a brief interview with journalists.

                According to the Mayor, the didactic material that will serve as teaching aid to the teachers and their respective schools comprised rulers, books, chalks, pens, sport materials and other stationaries. The short-lived event that took place at the Buea Council Chambers brought together Head Teachers and teachers of some schools of the municipality.

                While donating the materials, the Mayor thanked the teachers for their enthusiasm adding that, there is need for a symbiotic relationship between the Buea Municipality and Buea educational institutions.

                In a bid to ensure the proper utilization of these materials, the Mayor urged these teachers to use them correctly for the betterment of the teaching and learning process by students. Talking to the Median, Patrick Ekema told said, these materials are meant to ease the teaching process and that all teachers use them to “impact knowledge into the young ones”.

                In his address, the Mayor, promised that the council will work in collaboration with the education sector, the basic education sector of the municipality in particular to ease the process of teaching. “Teachers have taken the task to nurture and impact knowledge, and so it should be done well”-he added. Bearing in mind that the council has taken a bold step in motivating teachers and supporting education, it will only be true to say that the Buea Council has a lot in store for teachers come 5th of October, when they will be celebrating Worlds Teachers Day.

                To the Inspector of Basic Education for Buea, Mrs. Lisinge Magdalene, the kind gesture from the Buea Council is necessary since it includes some items most basic education schools of the municipality never had before now.
