Adamu, who emphasised the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education sector, also called for the cooperation of stakeholders to ensure safe return to schools.<\/p>\n

In a statement to mark the World Teachers Day, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has called for deliberate efforts to address the challenges faced by teachers across the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly added to the challenges faced by already over-extended education systems throughout the world. It is no exaggeration to say that the world is at a crossroads and, now more than ever, we must work with teachers to protect the right to education and guide it into the unfolding landscape brought about by the pandemic,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of teacher leadership in relation to crisis responses is not just timely, but critical in terms of the contributions teachers have made to provide remote learning, support vulnerable populations, re-open schools, and ensure that learning gaps have been mitigated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe discussions surrounding WTD will also address the role of teachers in building resilience and shaping the future of education and the teaching profession.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
