Are We Truly Standing with Teachers? | World Teachers’ Day 2026

This isn't just another Teachers' Day video. This is Africa's most important education conversation, happening RIGHT NOW. On October 10, 2026, we brought together three of Africa's most influential education leaders to mark 60 years of support for the teaching profession. What they revealed about the state of teaching in Africa will shock you. - ‪@DrKehindeNwani‬ , CEO & Co-Founder, AfriTeach - ‪@DrAdetolaAriyikeSalau‬, Special Adviser on STEMM & Corporate Sector Engagement, Federal Ministry of Education Mrs. Winfred Nduku Wambua, Head Teacher, Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone who cares about education in Africa. Teachers don't need sympathy. They need systemic support, respect, and a seat at the table where decisions are made. Watch this. Share this. And if you're an educator, know that your voice matters. ► Want to join the movement? Visit www.afriteach.org ►Are you an educator?
