President Muhammadu Buhari said Nigeria’s future relied heavily on education, noting that no society could grow beyond its educational attainments.

The President said it was in consideration of such development that his government was determined to return teachers and the teaching profession to their rightful places.

Buhari, who spoke at the commemoration of the 2022 World Teachers’ Day in Abuja, noted that one of the  major differences between healthy, well functioning and  prosperous and poorer societies was education.

He explained that his government was fully implementing the professional teaching and teacher qualification framework standards that would invariably impact on education outcome and teachers’ performance at the pre-school, basic, secondary and tertiary levels.
