According to a press statement released by the governor’s Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, on Wednesday, the governor urged appreciation for teachers worldwide, highlighting particularly the efforts of teachers in Anambra.
Soludo expressed gratitude for the dedication and hard work of educators, noting that everyone was brought up by a teacher.
He said, “You are doing a fantastic job, and I want to highlight that basic statistics show Anambra is leading in many educational metrics.
“There is no educational system without the teachers; the future of a society is intrinsically linked to the quality of its teachers and the quality of teaching they provide.”
The governor stated that in order to combat historical neglect of the education sector, his government successfully recruited 8,115 teachers through a competitive process that drew applicants from 18 states across Nigeria.
“Literacy and numeracy have improved by over 40 per cent, and enrollment rates have surged since we took office. This reflects on the progress made under my administration.
“We acknowledge the challenges the state faced when I assumed leadership. When we came, we discovered that public education was completely neglected and abandoned, and we vowed to restore the sector to its rightful place.
“To sustain this momentum, we plan to recruit even more teachers soon, ensuring that Anambra continues to enhance its educational landscape. We will announce the recruitment of more teachers soon, as our ongoing commitment to improving education,” he added.
As the governor’s message reverberates through the state, the focus on bolstering the teaching force is seen as a critical step toward elevating educational standards and securing a brighter future for the children of Anambra.
Also, at the event, the state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngọzi Chuma-Udeh, addressed attendees, acknowledging the significant influence educators have on the people.
Chuma-Udeh also expressed her commitment to promoting the ongoing efforts of the state government in education.
“These are the parents whose lives you have positively touched. We recognise the vital role that teachers play in shaping the community’s future.
“We will continue to declare the good works of the Governor,” emphasising the administration’s dedication to enhancing the quality of education and supporting the needs of families in Anambra.”
