What is your name? I am Gupar Danjuma Hosea.
What is your position/work? What do you do? I am a literacy facilitator, crusading against illiteracy.
What is your relationship to Sheila? I work with her in training teachers to have Biblical World View in the teaching profession.
Why are you passionate about Christian Education? God is seeking for teachers that will transmit the true Biblical values, I am especially passionate because Christian Education is the heart of all other educations.
What is the biggest challenge you see in the education system in Nigeria? Why?
Poor literacy is the biggest challenge in the education system because if a person cannot read and write, any other subject becomes difficult.
What is your dream for education in Nigeria? My greatest dream for Nigerian education is that if possible all primary teachers be given a thorough phonics training which will help them teach nursery and primary pupils to learn how to read.
What will it take to bring about transformation? Sponsorship and funding for seminars and training for public and private primary school teachers to be trained.
What do you see as YOUR role in bringing about that transformation? I have taken upon myself to contribute my quota in training as many teachers as possible. I also hope to motivate other teachers of like minds to join me in this great crusade against illiteracy!
What have you learned while interacting and “walking with” Sheila? I have learned focus, goal oriented, and above all faith to do things that always seem impossible.
