NEA Awards

The Nigerian Educators’ Awards is an exclusive innovative and creative idea of Centre for Educational Empowerment and Orientation (CEEO Nigeria) to celebrate “The Nobles” for the purpose of repositioning the teaching profession in our society and improving learners’ performances. This is in line with our corporate mandate of making education an exciting venture in Africa by recognizing and honoring those who have committed their entire lives to its goodness.

The NEA is in two major categories and in line with two of our training programs. The TEMMA-Teachers’ Mentor Merit Award which is link to our Structured Teachers Mentoring Program in the schools, obviously recipients of this award must have played mentoring roles in the beginning teachers and their subordinates in the profession. Next is Great Teacher Merit Award-GTEMA links to our training program on “The New Teacher Nigeria Project and Eight Effective Core Teaching Strategies”.

The mentoring program for schools started in 2013 with over 80 education stakeholders in Lafia North Development Area Education Authority under the leadership of Mrs Tsakpa Danlami; while “The New Teacher Nigeria Project” started in 2011 with Redeemer College, Akwanga and Solid Foundation Academy, Akwanga. In 2012 we had a statewide capacity building on the “The New Teacher Nigeria Project” where over 150 teachers cut across private and public schools where trained.
