-

 



The Lagos State College of Health Technology has assured of more quality education, research and community service in training health professionals, particularly in the middle and lower cadres.

The Provost of the college, Prof. Raheem Akewushola, gave the assurance  at a management retreat of the institution, on Thursday in Lagos.

The retreat had the theme: “Creating a Global Standard Learning Culture for Lagos State College of Health Technology”.

The provost said that academic and non-academic staff  of the college would need to position themselves on the global stage and compete favourably with their counterparts across the world.

“We should not be complacent by benchmarking ourselves solely against other health colleges in Nigeria.

“Collective effort is necessary to produce a highly-skilled workforce for the primary and secondary health sectors.

“The retreat comes at a pivotal moment, considering the rapidly evolving teaching methodologies in health-related fields.

“The health sector requires regular reviews and alignment with global best practices to stay effective,” Akewushola said.

He said that the mission of the college was to enhance the well-being of individuals and communities through health education and innovations.

“We must create an environment that fosters seamless teaching and cutting-edge research, where students could engage in both physical and online learning, complete assignments, and receive timely feedback on their results.

“This will only be possible if all stakeholders fulfill their responsibilities promptly and effectively.

“This retreat will provide an invaluable platform for exchanging ideas and developing a shared vision, ensuring that the college continues to be the premier institution of its kind in the country,” Akewushola said.

He added that the college would engage its alumni to explore collaborative opportunities that could rejuvenate teaching and learning.

“This college is founded nearly a century ago with the noble intention of training and re-training workers in the primary and secondary health sectors,” Akewushola said.
