Quick Glance: Teachers' Day: Addressing Nigeria's Teacher Shortage
  • Today's celebration of World Teachers' Day reminds everyone that teachers are the foundation of any modern society.

  • President Bola Tinubu, his education ministers, and the state governments should critically review Nigeria's education system, including the situation of Nigerian teachers, as a prelude to comprehensive reforms.

  • This year's theme, "The Teachers We Need for the Education We Want: The Global Imperative to Reverse Teacher Shortage," highlights a major gap in Nigeria's education sector - the shortage of qualified teachers - and should serve as another wake-up call.

  • October 5th every year is dedicated by UNESCO to celebrate the resilience of teachers around the world.
