Organisers of The Teachers Naija Reality TV Show has emphasised on the need to improve the standards of livelihood of teachers in the country noting that this in turn will help build a better and we’ll informed society.
Speaking during the Season 3 Grand Finale of the Reality Show held today in Abuja, the Convener, Enuagwuna Ubaka said that the essence of the show was to change the narrative of the teaching profession.
Ubaka stated that the the reality show was targeted towards teachers, as it was aimed at improving the perception of teachers and the teaching profession also to reward teachers by putting them in the limelight.
He said, “Teachers train the future generation and they deserve to be recognised. If other shows give out a lot of money to their participants, I think teachers deserve more because they have more impact.
“The housemates who were selected randomly across the country, were prioritised based on their intellectual capabilities.”
According to him, “over the years the profession has been bastardized, the occupation has been looked down on. If you look at what is obtainable outside the country, in countries like Finland, Germany, Japan, Sweden, there teachers are regarded as first class citizens then the question is why can’t that be done in Nigeria and Africa. So we said they best way to get this done was to get partnership that will bring teachers to limelight, to highlight what the teachers do for our children, to put them on television program or shows to reward their efforts to make sure they have their rewards on earth.”
