Mr Jacob Y.I. Asigri, Municipal Director of Education challenged pupil teachers not to use teaching as a stepping stone to other jobs but rather upgrade themselves to become professional teachers to produce the manpower needs of the country.
Mr Asigri advised participants to eschew drunkenness, lateness and lesson skipping and other negative acts, which tarnish the teaching profession.
