The Provost of Abia State College of Education (Technical), Arochukwu, Dr. Phillips Nto, has charged academic staff of the institution to be more productive through publication of papers and attendance at conferences.
Nto spoke at the second annual education conference hosted by ASCETA, pledging the readiness of the management to support academic staff who wish to enhance their career.
He said the management, in concert with TETFUND, has approved local and overseas training for both academic and non-academic staff to improve themselves.
He said ASCETA as an institution will not promote staff without publication of academic papers.
He commended the organizers of the conference for attracting quality paper presenters. He also expressed satisfaction with the quality of those who were given awards, especially old students of the institution.
Nto said he was impressed with the theme of the conference” Education for National Transformation: the implications for teacher education”, saying it resonated with the policy of ASCETA.
Among those who presented papers at the conference included Professor Erhauyi Benson and Professor Nneka Augustina Umezulike.
Both Profs Benson and Umezulike eulogized the Provost for the academic and infrastructural developments in the school.
They said between the lasttime they visited the college and now, there has been a remarkable transformation that only a dedicated administrator like Nto could have achieved.
They urged the staff and students to support the management in its bid to make ASCETA a destination for the training of academics.
