Rosemary Bosibori Onyancha, a dedicated teacher at Moi Forces Academy Lanet in Lanet, Nakuru City, Kenya, has been awarded the African Union's Continental Best Teacher Award. Ms. Onyancha was recognized for her exceptional contributions to education, marking her as one of the outstanding teachers on the African continent.
On World Teachers' Day, which was celebrated on October 5, the African Union Commission and UNESCO IICBA hosted an event to honor teachers. Ms. Onyancha was among eight remarkable educators from various African nations, including Ghana, Malawi, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa, who were celebrated for their exceptional work.
Teachers play a pivotal role in a nation's development. Education, as a form of human capital, significantly contributes to a nation's wealth and progress. Investing in education is crucial for a country's future, and outstanding teachers like Ms. Onyancha are essential in achieving this goal. Efforts to reduce teacher shortages and enhance the teaching profession should focus on improving working conditions, ensuring quality pre-service education, offering continuous professional development, and establishing clear career paths and related competencies for teachers. These steps will contribute to the advancement of education and, ultimately, the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
