The honoured teachers expressed gratitude for the grants and also shared plans to use the funds for classroom supplies, teaching aids, and professional development.

“Teachers are the backbone of our society, especially those who persevere despite limited resources. This program is our way of expressing gratitude and ensuring their hard work does not go unnoticed,” said Chikezie Ugwu, operations lead at GET.

GETAP was established to strengthen the education sector by supporting teachers who work in under-resourced communities, providing them with financial relief and empowerment.

The initiative aims to alleviate personal and professional challenges, enabling educators to focus on their role, including shaping the future of Nigeria’s youth.
