Steem Cameroon Contest - World Teachers' Day (Nigeria)

Hello everyone, how are you all doing?, A hearty salutation from Nigeria to you all. Today, on this awareness contest, we will be commemorating teachers and as well celebrate their immense effort towards the development of humanity. It was in ancient days where teaching was being considered as a menial job or job for the hopeless, so, they were not being celebrated because everyone thinks by then that the rewards for teachers are in heaven, but today, the narratives has changed and I am happy we have realized the impact of teachers in the society stay with me let me take you on this trip.

October 5th is the day set aside by the International Labour Organization and the United Nation to annually celebrate the impact of teachers in the society. This was made inorder for the society to look away from the former way of referring teaching job as a second class work for inferior citizens.

Of all progression, we cannot overemphasize the impact of teachers in the society, the reason millions of people are here today is because of a teacher who for once took the pains of moulding us to what we have become. The kings and queens we see today are product of teachers, so why then should they not be celebrated?, Infact, left to me, I think they should be celebrated thrice a year because they deserve it.

Nigeria being my country do declare October 5th as public holiday for teachers, so inorder to commemorate this day, teachers are exempted from teaching today so they could rest or attend teachers forum. Just like today, all the private nursery, primary and secondary school observed public holiday inorder to celebrate teachers.

Also, teachers will hold a forum where they will discuss about the tenets of teaching job, workshop will be made in some states so teachers will be more enlightened on the course of the jobs. Just like today, I walked pass some group of teachers doing a little match pass and it was really beautiful to behold.

In Nigeria, during this day, the government tends to address the concern of teachers such as ; salary increament, promotion of some teacher as well as settling some pensioneers in areas. During this celebration also, teachers visit radio station and create awareness about the teaching job, what they stand for and why they are doing the teaching job, this help sanitize people's mind from the former ways of seeing teachers.

Secondly, some government teachers are being awarded for their good deeds, some dilapidated public school structures are also being given as a contract to be repaired. This helps make learning a little bit easier for the students and pupils.
