About Changed Teachers Conference (CTC)



Changed Teachers Conference (CTC) is a Conference of teachers geared towards
raising Role Models, Mentors and Change Drivers among Teachers who will in turn effect change in their schools, community, and the education system as a whole beginning from themselves.

It is a one of SHADE-IN's programmes aimed at effecting lasting transformation in schools especially Public schools in Nigeria. 

It is born out of the need to implement change in the school system using the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) model, which involves the community (in this case, the school), driving her own change.

The maiden edition of the Conference seeks to validate the school's result of the survey conducted by SHADE-IN in some public secondary schools in Benin City. A visit to many public secondary schools in this city will reveal the need for this programme. 
The details of the programme are as follows:

Theme: Change Drivers for Education Transformation
Date:  29th March, 2019
Time: 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Venue: Edo Innovates Hub, ICE Road, Benin City.

The objectives of the programme are as follows:
1. To enable participants understand the activities of SHADE-IN and their roles.
2. To intimate the participants on the results of SHADE-IN's schools survey.
3. To validate the results of the schools survey with the teachers.
4. To intimate participants on how to implement change in their schools.
5. To collaborate with teachers, on the way forward for effecting lasting change in our schools.

The programme will  feature: opening session, main session (which features topics like: Introduction to SHADE-IN, Report of Schools survey and Implementing Change in Your School). It also has an interactive and work session that features (Focal Group Discussions and Planning the Way forward for our schools). The programme will climax with an evaluation and networking session for all participants. It promises to be impactful, motivating and inspiring.
We are collaborating with Scripture Union, Edo State to provide 10 teachers from 10 public schools who we will be engaging with during the programme. 

We are expecting the presence of the following stakeholders at the programme in no particular order:
Lift Above Poverty Organisation (LAPO), TY Danjuma Foundation, Market Development in the Niger Delta (MADE), Conference of Non-Governmental Organisations (CONGOs) and SabiHub.

SHADE-IN hopes that the strategies received for implementing change in our public schools would metamorphose into reality.
We hope to see a better educational system even in this generation. We hope this programme will bring about a ripple effect where there would be a spiral of change in our public secondary schools. We hope for a better Nigeria that works and is driven by educated and enlightened minds in every sector of our economy.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria, God bless Edo State, God bless SHADE-IN.

Draft Communiqué Issued at the End of the 2nd National Conference by CSO Accountability and Transparency Initiative (CATI) held on 8th-9th November, 2023 as presented by Omotunde Clement

Reported by Bliss Ojeruse, Executive Director, Saving Hand Development Initiative (SHADE-IN) Introduction The communiqué was drafted by a 3-persons committee including Newton Otsemaye, British Council State Coordinator, Edo State, Temple and Omotunde Clement. Saving Hand Development Initiative (SHADE-IN) was represented at the Conference by Bliss Ojeruse, Executive Director, who participated virtually. Background   Against the backdrop of the resolution reached at the inaugural national conference held in September 2022, the steering committee on civil society regulatory environment was saddled with the task of working closely with development partners to institutionalise the national civil society conference as an annual event to sustain and track progress made in improving the civic society operational environment in Nigeria.  To drive this initiative that would facilitate continuous engagement within the regulators and civic actors, beyond donors' intervention, the CSO Accountab

To invest in people, prioritize education - International Day of Education

To invest in people, prioritize education. This is the theme for the 2023 international day of education.  This statement is in all sense factual and this is why Saving Hand Development Initiative (SHADE-IN) prioritises education. One of our children whom we reached out to in a community settlement in 2010 and have supported through his university education just graduated as a Civil Engineer in December, 2022. Recently, one of us was reached by one of our children who has not been able to further his education because of lack of funds. There are so many children who are in this situation in Nigeria. In seven years from this year, the sustainable development goals (SDGs) are meant to be achieved. But how far have we gone in achieving it? Let's start with Goal 1, "No Poverty." Rather than this, it appears that there is an increased poverty rate. In Nigeria for instance, you do not need to read the statistics to know that hunger is in the land as a result of extreme poverty.
