FG Launches Digital System for 2026 Teachers' Awards
The Federal Government has introduced a digital system for selecting recipients of the 2026 President’s Teachers’ and Schools’ Excellence Awards, replacing the previous manual process. This announcement was made by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, in Abuja on Friday, ahead of the 2026 World Teachers’ Day celebration scheduled for October 5.
The digital system aims to improve transparency, accountability, and documentation in recognizing outstanding teachers and schools, aligning with African Union guidelines. Ahmad stated that this digitalization would provide a reliable record for identifying deserving recipients.
The 2026 World Teachers’ Day celebration will focus on five key areas: innovation, mobility, artificial intelligence, inclusion, and professional excellence. Fourteen teachers, schools, and education stakeholders will be honored, with special prizes for the top three teachers and laptops for other recipients.
The event will also feature a march-past with participants carrying their states' flags, emphasizing the importance of education in promoting national unity.
