On this special occasion of World Teachers’ Day 2024, I am deeply honored to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the dedicated teachers of Idemili North and South Federal Constituency, Anambra State, and to all teachers across Nigeria.
Teachers are the cornerstone of knowledge, guiding and shaping the future of our nation. Their unwavering dedication, passion, and selfless efforts in nurturing the minds of our young generation deserve our highest respect and appreciation.
In Idemili North and South Federal Constituency, we are blessed with educators who go above and beyond to ensure that students reach their full potential. Your commitment to providing high-quality education empowers our children to aim high, pursue excellence, and become active contributors to society.
This year’s theme, “Valuing Teacher Voices: Towards a New Social Contract for Education,” emphasizes the need to prioritize and amplify the voices of teachers in shaping the future of education. It highlights the global imperative of reversing the teacher shortage by ensuring that teachers’ insights, expertise, and needs are heard and valued. The theme also calls for a renewed commitment to building a new social contract that recognizes teachers as essential stakeholders in the education system, particularly in the wake of ongoing global challenges.
To all teachers in Nigeria, you are the foundation of our nation’s development. Your ability to inspire, educate, and instill values in our youth is an invaluable contribution to society. As we celebrate this year’s World Teachers’ Day, let us renew our commitment to elevating the status of teachers, ensuring their voices are heard, and providing them with the necessary resources to thrive in their roles as educators and leaders.
Once again, I extend my warmest congratulations to the teachers of Idemili North and South Federal Constituency and to all teachers across Nigeria. Happy World Teachers’ Day 2024!
