The founder of Star Education and Leadership Initiative (SELI), Esther Onyinyechi Mark-Nathaniel, who spoke to newsmen emphasised the important factors required to create an effective learning environment in the class for primary school pupils.

She said the Teachers’ Training Workshop was facilitated by SELI with funds from the Reciprocal Exchange Component of the Mandela Washington Fellowship.

According to her, “SELI is working to encourage teachers to incorporate play into their classrooms for improved educational outcomes thereby encouraging learning through play’’

She said there are practical steps teachers could take to stimulate students’ interest in learning adding that teachers could apply child-friendly communication skills to build trust with students while teaching.
