In a bid to address Nigeria’s unprecedented education challenges, 1 Million Teachers (1MT) is offering a proven, homegrown solution.
With an ambitious vision to train and empower one million teachers across underserved communities, 1MT is redefining how education can transform society.
1MT’s growth is built on five core pillars. These include: Blended Learning: a hybrid training model combining online courses with offline community hubs;
– Gamified Teacher Development through the 1MT Blackbelt Program; community mentorship, where graduates become mentors;
– Strategic Global Partnerships with institutions like Queen’s University, HP, and Girl Rising; and
– Anchor Schools: designated excellence hubs that serve as real-world laboratories for pedagogy and innovation.
The 312-acre 1MT Village is a living demonstration of the organization’s vision. It serves as a talent pipeline, regenerative revenue model, magnet for global collaboration, and policy laboratory.
Scheduled for September 20, 2025, at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, the conference aims to gather over 60,000 teachers, pushing for policy reforms such as teacher-led education ministries, increased education funding, and higher entry standards for teacher colleges.
The synergy of 1MT, the Village, and the Conference forms a powerful ecosystem, with 1MT as the heart, the Village as the body, and the Conference as the voice.
Together, they are building a movement to transform Nigeria’s education system.
