To them, Badjie’s presence represents a symbol of national solidarity with teachers everywhere.
In his address, Hon. Badjie reminded the gathering that no nation can develop without prioritizing its teachers. He described them as the foundation of national progress, the minds behind every visionary, every professional, and every leader.
Speakers at the event, including the principal of the Karantaba BCS, praised Hon. Badjie’s clarity of vision and commitment to education, calling his leadership bold, necessary, and timely.
