To further deepen its impacts, improve processes and ensure that head teachers and teachers maintain the highest possible standards in giving their best to pupils, the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) has introduced the Instructional Leadership App for the EKOEXCEL programme.

It would, among others, allows the school leaders to monitor and respond to issues, including the percentage of lessons completed The App also shows every scheduled lesson on a given day and indicates if it was completed If it wasn’t, it lets the head teachers know the reason

With the introduction of the App, headteachers can now see data about their school’s performance compared to the highest performing school and navigate to their own teachers’ performance details

When queried, the App answers how much of a Lesson Plan was delivered as well as how many minutes did the teacher spend on the lesson compared to how many minutes were scheduled. Based on the answer to these two questions, the app determines whether the lesson is completed or not

During the unveiling of the App to LASUBEB by NewGlobes’ EKOEXCEL support team, Mrs Sonia Ivie, director in NewGlobe, informed the Board that the App was specifically built for headteachers and would help to capture lessons completed by teachers each day and empower headteachers in taking ownership of their respective schools as well as putting teachers on their toes to improve the schools’ KPIs

Mrs. Enoh Ugbona, who led the EKOEXCEL support team, said the App wpuld be distributed to headteachers which will help to eliminate complacency among Teachers, as it would make monitoring of teachers be easier.

LASUBEB Chairman, Wahab AlawiyeKing, lauded the development of the App and expressed delight at the continuous evolution of the technology underpinning EKOEXCEL and the drive to close up learning gaps
