The event presents the moment for a strong review of the current situation by the teachers on the future of education, and how it should affects their political choices.
Teachers in the past were not known to active participation in partisan politics but the turn of events has compelled the teachers to take a stand.
This rally is organised by some teacher’s unions for the purpose of announcing to the public that teachers will remain in the background despite their population and position in society.
The rally was attended by the APC gubernatorial candidate Dikko Radda who promised to bring effective educational reforms if elected.
Speakers expressed concern about the state and the need to elect a leader that truly understands what needs to be done to address factors affecting the education system.
Whoever emerges Governor in 2023 has his work cut out with issues like out-of-school children, teacher recruitment and school infrastructural development needing to be speedily addressed.
