Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>A line up of venerable panel of judges were yesterday inaugurated to take on the task of assessing applications and nominations for the National Teacher Prize of The Gambia 2024. The three-women, four-gentlemen panel is led by former President of The Gambia Teachers Union, Mr Omar J. Ndure and deputised by retired educationist Madam Rohie Silla.<\/b><\/p>\n

The service of the judges, according to Secretary General of the Foundation, Mrs Fatou Susso-Jobarteh, will play an important part in selecting excellent teachers who have made great contributions to their students and communities: \u201cYour dedication shows your commitment to education and your belief in the power of teachers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Three of the judges directly come from retirement as educators while two came from educational institutions like The Gambia College School of Education, the Department of Education of the University of The Gambia, and additional two representative from the the Association of NGOs (TANGO), and the National School Management Committees of The Gambia.<\/p>\n

The judges will assess the applications based on merit; conduct interviews with the applicants and go further to conduct school visits and collect firsthand information on the work and applicants so as to inform their decisions in reviewing, shortlisting and selecting both regional and national winners for the prize.<\/p>\n

The inauguration, presided over by Mr Essa Sowe, deputy General Secretary of the Gambia Teachers Union on behalf of Organising Committee of the National Teacher Prize, as an initiative of a Gambian NGO, The Namie Foundation.<\/p>\n

Mr Alhassan Susso, Chairman of the Namie Foundation in a video message thanked the judges for taking up the challenge to serve on the panel, having served as a judge himself in a similar capacity in the US Teacher Prize. He described the task of improving teaching and motivating teachers as \u201ca life journey\u201d and welcomed judges to be a part of this journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initiative seeks to honour and recognize excellence in teaching while using it as a platform to raise national awareness, inspire and motivate educators and foster collaboration for improved education service delivery,\u201d said Mr Essa Sowe, on behalf of Selection Sub Committee of the National Teacher Prize 2024.<\/p>\n

After deliberations, the empanelled Judges selected veteran educationist and unionist, Mr Omar J. Ndure to be chairperson of the judges. He thanked the Committee, \u201cgrateful and appreciative\u201d that they are considered out of many.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe task is difficult, considering the number of teachers from regional level to national level. What\u2019s important is the purpose of the recognition as teachers need encouragement,\u201d Mr Ndure said.<\/p>\n

Other members of the panel include Dr Abdoulie Jadama as Secretary, Mr Momodou A. Jallow as member, Emily Gomez as member, Tabou Njie Sarr as member and Mr Mbemba Jawara as member.<\/p>\n
