President Muhammadu Buhari said yesterday that Nigeria\u2019s future relied heavily on education, noting that no society could grow beyond its educational attainments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President said it was in consideration of such a development that his government was determined to return teachers, teaching, and the teaching profession to their rightful places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buhari, who spoke at the commemoration of the 2022 World Teachers\u2019 Day in Abuja, noted that one of the major differences between healthy, well-functioning and prosperous, and poorer societies was education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe owe so much of our well-being as a nation to our educators at every level,\u201d said Bihari, who was represented by the vice president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that his government was fully implementing the professional teaching and teacher qualification framework standards that would invariably impact education outcomes and teachers\u2019 performance at the pre-school, basic, secondary, and tertiary levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cWe are also developing a verifiable database of teachers in Nigeria. Already, the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN, has registered 2, 108, 342 teachers and licensed 1,250,000 teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIndeed, our future as a nation is so heavily dependent on education and our educators. This explains why the federal government is determined to return teachers, teaching, and the teaching profession to their rightful places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOctober 5th is a very special date. It is the day we celebrate the very best of us and perhaps the most important people in our nation, teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose men and women who daily go into classrooms to banish ignorance, imbue knowledge, inspire and nurture the minds of millions of young people one school day at a time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is the day in the year when we say what we should say every day to our teachers\u2014thank you.” Thank you for your patience, commitment, your sacrifice, and your hard work amid many challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo society can grow beyond its educational attainment. One of the major differences between healthy, well-functioning, and prosperous societies and poorer societies is education. We owe so much of our well-being as a nation to our educators at every level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIndeed, our future as a nation is so heavily dependent on education and our educators. This explains why the federal government is determined to return teachers, teaching, and the teaching profession to their rightful places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur new teachers\u2019 policy is already being implemented at the federal level and in some states.” It emphasizes the importance of teachers to educational transformation but also introduces the important responsibility that teachers themselves have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is to be at the cutting edge of advancements in education and especially the use of technology and modern teaching methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEducation must respond to the dynamism, speed of development, and massive changes in society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
