He said that TEDA’s policy of recruiting highly-qualified subject-relevant and motivated instructors and its deployment of  modern scientific facilities as well as its willing-to-learn studentship, were some of the reasons for the school’s high performance.

“In particular, the excellent delivery of the TEDA online classes that ran throughout the COVID-induced schools’ closure, is highly commendable.

“There is no shortcut to excellence, schools must be ready to invest in quality infrastructure and in teachers with relevant experiences.

“Parents must see themselves as partners with the school in training their wards, students must be made to develop a culture of consistent hard work,” he added.

He said that security for schools/students, continuous update of school curricula to align with global and domestic needs, and creation of platforms for healthy competition among schools and students, were paramount to improving the education sector.
