Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, needs to be commended for lavishly celebrating one Kayode Adewale, a mathematics teacher who was recently shortlisted among the top 50 finalists for the prestigious Global Teacher Prize, with significant rewards and recognition.
Adewale, a mathematics teacher at Imagbon/Imaka Comprehensive High School, was recognised for his innovative teaching methods, which include using local languages like Yoruba and Hausa to simplify mathematics concepts for students from low-income families.
The Global Teacher Prize, organised by the Varkey Foundation in collaboration with the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), celebrates exceptional teachers making transformative impacts in education and their communities.
