To provide qualitative education to disadvantaged children in various communities of the country, Teach For Nigeria (TFN), a non-profit organisation, has trained and inducted the second cohort of trainees into its fellowship programme. The 173 fellows dubbed ‘change makers,” underwent a four-week intensive training programme at the Greensprings School, Lekki, Lagos. They will be dispersed to public schools across three states in Nigeria, to help remodel the teaching profession and also tutor pupils for 21st century learning. The TFN fellowship programme is a two-year full-time paid commitment that is designed to build a movement of leaders who will work towards eliminating educational inequity by teaching in underserved schools in low-income communities across Nigeria. DFID Education Adviser & Teach First UK Alumni, Esohe Eigbike, encouraged the fellows to be steadfast role models to pupils under their influence.
