On a daily basis, teachers are actively imparting the nation through the important role they play in educating and inspiring young people across Nigeria. Education International (EI) – the global union federation that represents education professionals worldwide- strongly believes that World Teachers’ Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world.

Daily airtime prizes of N1000 will be given out to participants and the best article will stand a chance of winning N5000 cash prize on 5th October. The winner would also be revealed on the same day. This competition is open to primary and secondary school students only.

World Teachers’ Day is celebrated in more than 100 countries world-wide and was established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 1994 to celebrate the role of teachers in society. The World Teachers’ Day is held internationally on the 5th of October every year. The yearly event is a wonderful opportunity to draw public attention to the significant role teacher’s play in our societies all across the world. You can follow our activities online on;
