Nigerian teachers are joining their counterparts around the world to mark the World Teachers’ Day.
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is marking the 2015 event by highlighting the importance of empowering teachers to achieve inclusive and sustainable global development.
This year, the day comes just after the adoption of the new Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations’ General Assembly and represents the first opportunity to set out a road map for teachers in the new Education 2030 Agenda.
Despite global recognition of the importance of teachers in changing children’s lives and building sustainable and prosperous societies, they are all too often undervalued and under-empowered.
The 2015 World Teachers’ Day highlights the need to empower all teachers through the provision of decent, safe and healthy working conditions, trust, professional autonomy and academic freedom.
