As a proactive strategy to ensure effective and result oriented management of Schools in Anambra State, the Post Primary Schools Service Commission in the State has flagged off a one day leadership training for selected school functionaries in public secondary schools in the State.
The training which has more than one thousand student functionaries in attendance, is holding simultaneously in six education zones of the commission namely Aguata, Awka, Nnewi, Ogidi, Onitsha and Otuocha Zones.
The leadership training themed “Exemplary Leadership” is expected to be stepped down to all school functionaries after the Zonal Trainings.
Lectures on subthemes: “The place of prefects in school governance”, “specific functions of school prefects” and “Prefects and crises management” were also held at the training.
Declaring the leadership training opened, the Chairman PPSSC, Mrs Ifeoma Okaro said the training is intended to inculcate in the students the true virtues of leadership so they could become shinning lights both in character and in learning to their colleagues and for the school system.
At Aguata Zonal Leadership Training which held at Urban Girls Secondary School, Ekwulobia, the Chairman of the Commission asked parents to give their children who were appointed into different positions as school prefects as these will be a springboard for them to launch into the society as leaders of tomorrow.
