The Coordinator, Mrs Aminat Yahya, said that teachers play indispensable role in shaping the future of society and the organisation believes that it is essential to recognise and honour their tireless efforts.

“This edition of the Teachers’ Day event is a testament to our commitment to bequeathing a legacy of education and life coaching that ensures dual success here and hereafter.
“Zenith Pathfinders has been working to uplift the underprivileged, promote education, and empower individuals to reach their full potentials through formal education by our dedicated teachers and sincere mentoring.”
She added that the organisation trained about 102 teachers to mentor students in schools across the state.

Director, Education Policy Assurance, Lagos State, Dr. Sulaiman Ogumuyiwa, commended the foundation, noting that negative mentorship is the root cause of today’s youth unrest.
“The society should focus on the smart approach to mentoring and I extol the idea of the organiser because this is the way to go.

“The truth be said, a lot of teachers in the education sector are there because they did not have any other option. As a result, the passion is not there to lead this student to the real educational and career goals that the government want. And because we are using this period to celebrate Teachers Day, I encourage teachers to be up and doing as they are the implementers of education policies at the grassroots.

“The emergence of technology is one of the major causes of decadence we find in society.
“The stakeholders in the society are at fault. The government needs to regulate the use of technology among the youth. At home, parent don’t have time for their kids. Parents must study parenting. We assume that because we are adults, we should be able to train children believing it is an automatic skill. It is an integral part of our life, parenting should be inculcated in our curriculum.”

He argued that pupils in primary or secondary schools are not expected to have personal phones, but they can be allowed to make use of their parent’s phones to do whatever assignment they are given.

“We have to come together to educate ourselves. The prophet (SAW) has told us education is from cradle to grave. So, it is an aspect of our life, we have to continue to encourage ourselves.”
A mentor, Hajia Nimotallah Badmus-Olanlege said that during the mentorship programme students were encouraged and mentored academically and morally
