No less than 500 education stakeholders drawn from different private Muslim schools in Ibadan participated in a workshop organised by the Oluyole chapter of the Association of Model Islamic Schools (AMIS) on Wednesday, September 3.
The workshop, Muslim News gathered, was to prepare the stakeholders for the new academic session (2025/2026) following a long break by schools nationwide.
AMIS collaborated with Imam IbnulQayyim Islamic Foundation and L.O Foundation to sponsor the free workshop which charted strategies for the development of basic education in Muslim-owned schools.
Themed ‘Academic Excellence: Teachers as Architects of Growth and Development in Schools’, the gathering held at Sablak Event Center in Sanyo-Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
Speaking at the workshop, Coach Sanusi Yusuff Abiodun, one of the guest speakers and Director/CEO of The Crescent Counselling and Educational Consult Limited, said teachers design the future of students just as architects design structures.
“Every lesson taught by the teacher is a brick. Every word of encouragement is the cement. And every learner is a structure rising towards greatness. Teachers are essentially architects of growth and development,” he noted.
He urged every teacher to be an instructor, mentor, role model, disciplinarian, counsellor, and nation builder.
Ustadh Rasheed Haashim, Director of Muflihun Schools and IbnulQayyim Islamic Foundation, made his own presentation on ‘Effective Curriculum Delivery for 21st Century Teachers’. He explained the components of curriculum and the roles of educators in shaping it.
The workshop also featured a session where school proprietors brainstormed on key developments, including security tips for schools, patronage of Christian-owned schools by Muslim parents and way forward, strategies to excel at internal and external examinations, leveraging technology for teaching in schools, among others.
AMIS presented certificate of participation to educators who attended the workshop.
For his part, Alhaji Nurudeen Yekeen, chairman organising committee of the workshop, appreciated everyone who contributed to the success of the programme, including the sponsors, invited speakers, and participants.
