According to her, the programmes would have teachers specialised in core subjects as Mathematics, English language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Literature in English and Financial Accounting take the various topics.<\/p>\n
She explained that the teachings would be recorded and circulated on various social media platforms for easy accessibility by students.<\/p>\n
