About – Let There Be Teachers

Let There Be Teacher

It is believed that education is a powerful tool in transforming societies and developing nations. It is a process aimed at socialized and humanizing individual citizen through their lives from birth till death. It is a process of enlightenment and empowerment of the individual for achievement of better and high quality of life and at its very foundation is the teacher. A nation is built by its citizens, citizens are molded by teachers and teachers are made by teacher-educators.

According to Professor Ajibefun, “The teacher is the most important factor in the translation of educational ideologies, philosophies, policies and programmes into actions and reality, since national development is predicated on the philosophy of education and the standard of education.

Therefore, the role of teachers in national development is very strategic and crucial that it can no longer be left in the hands of quacks and impostors.” Today’s teachers must not only fit into the knowledge informed demands of the contemporary life, but must be at shoulder level with every other professional groups functioning in the wider context of a knowledge-driven economy.

Let There Be Teachers Conference, 2025! To secure a seat

Let There Be Teachers is a teacher empowerment initiative committed to help teachers stay abreast of emerging challenges, and ultimately help them build capacity for personal and professional effectiveness. We are poised to raise, intelligent, creative and dynamic teachers that are emotionally stable and mentally alert to fulfill their dreams and attain greatness.

We have developed expertise in providing digital literacy for teachers and students, formulating education related policies, strategic planning, training teachers, implementing and monitoring education programmes/projects in partnership with Ministries of Education in different states. It is our desire that African children have access to “complete, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes.” According to the Nigerian National Policy on Education (2014) “no educational system can rise above the quality of its teachers. This is what fuels our commitment to raising and training teachers because we know that quality education begins with quality teachers.
