“The way we educate our students must evolve. The old methods are no longer effective in today’s society. We must adapt to meet international standards if we are to succeed,” he said.

The Minister also stressed the importance of mutual respect among teachers, students, academics, and parents.

“Teaching is a valuable profession; without teachers and educators, societies would not be what they are today. They are integral to nation-building and the transformation of this great country,” Alausa said.
