The Education Partnership (TEP) Centre has announced the relaunch of the TEP Learning Academy, a platform dedicated to enhancing the professional development of educators and education professionals in Nigeria.

The revamped academy aims to provide specialised courses that address critical challenges and opportunities within the education sector.

Speaking at the launch in Lagos Wednesday, the Head of Human Resources and Talent Development at TEP Centre, Chinenye Agwuncha, explained that the academy will offer a variety of learning options, including open enrolment workshops and bespoke training sessions.

“This flexibility allows education professionals to choose from structured courses or receive customised training tailored to their specific needs.

Additionally, self-paced courses will be available, enabling participants to learn at their own convenience, regardless of their schedules,” Agwuncha said.

Among the upcoming courses, she noted, include Research and Data Collection, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL), and QuickBooks Accounting for Educational Development.

“These courses are specifically designed for educators, researchers and administrators who are looking to improve their skills in collecting and analysing educational data.

“Participants will gain practical knowledge on effective research methodologies and data interpretation to inform educational practices and policy-making,” she said.

Agwuncha emphasised that the relaunch of the TEP Learning Academy represents a major step in the organisation’s mission to build the capacity of education professionals, adding: “This platform is not just about offering courses; it’s about empowering educators with evidence-based practices, innovative tools and the knowledge necessary to drive meaningful, sustainable change in the education sector.”

She added that by equipping educators and professionals with these essential skills, TEP Centre is contributing directly to the improvement of education in Nigeria and beyond.

“The academy’s offerings are designed to be locally relevant while adhering to global best practices to ensure that the needs of Nigeria’s education landscape are effectively met,” Agwuncha stated.
