Journey to 1 Million Teachers

The Faculty of Education has supported the 1 Million Teachers project as a partner since 2018. 1 Million Teachers helps teachers access professional development to empower them. We are involved in many aspects of the organization. Hakeem was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. He did not set out to be an entrepreneur and never really thought about teaching either. In fact, very few people in his community did. Growing up, he regularly heard that teaching was not a respectable profession because teachers never have money and, therefore, he never considered a career in teaching. He was told that he was a smart kid with a bright future who should not waste his time becoming a teacher. So, after graduating from university, he began a career in banking in Lagos.
