He said: ”The is an avenue to appreciate the immense contribution of teachers to nation-building. This will take care of state, public, basic, and secondary education.
”It is aimed at rewarding good behaviour and contributions made to nation-building. Priorities will be given to deserving teachers and school administrators.”
