RE: Teachers' welfare

I completely agree with what is stated in this post, and I find myself asking: what has actually been done in Nigeria to improve the integral welfare of teachers? What are the responses of those who hold in their hands the possibility of changing this state of affairs? It is crucial to argue the importance of this aspect, because it is not a minor issue but a decisive one for the future of education.

There is a thought that, in my reflections on teaching activity, has become a key premise. This thought, expressed in the distant 19th century by José Martí, today has extraordinary relevance: “He who wants a homeland must sow schools.” It is the duty of the citizens of a nation to demand responsibility from their leaders, because it is to be public servants that the people elect them. In this sense, it is necessary to put forward profound ideas and notions that must be taken into account when seeking that each country advances more each day in its development and in its capacity to be master of its own destiny.

Growth only comes with the responsibility of each citizen, and in this regard teachers are at the foundation, as they are the ones who form citizens with critical thinking.
