Co-Creation Hub (CcHUB) has introduced the CcHUB Teachers’ Awards, a new initiative recognising teachers who are using creativity, technology, and collaboration to transform learning experiences across Nigeria.
Announced as part of the hub’s 2025 World Teachers’ Day activities, the Awards highlight educators who demonstrate innovation and agency in their classrooms, those finding new ways to engage students, adapt digital tools, and share knowledge within their communities.
Winners will receive cash prizes, tablets, professional development opportunities, and access to the CcHUB Teachers’ Lounge, a peer-learning network built to promote collaboration and continuous growth among teachers.
The Awards form part of CcHUB’s wider declaration of October as Teachers’ Month, themed “Teacher Agency: Empowered by Community, Amplified by Technology.” The theme aligns with UNESCO’s 2025 call to recast teaching as a collaborative profession, echoing CcHUB’s belief that empowered teachers can reshape learning outcomes when equipped with technology and supportive communities.
“Teachers are central to Africa’s education transformation,” said Nissi Madu, Managing Partner at CcHUB. “When teachers are empowered through technology, mentorship, and peer support, they’re better positioned to innovate in the classroom and improve the quality of learning. The Teachers’ Awards celebrate educators who are reimagining learning and leading within their communities.”
The initiative builds on CcHUB’s ongoing work in strengthening Africa’s education ecosystem. Over the years, the hub has supported edtech startups, facilitated edtech testing and pilot programmes, and developed capacity-building projects like the Instructional Design Fellowship, which nurtures professionals who can design impactful learning experiences. Together, these efforts aim to ensure equitable access to quality education and drive scalable innovation across the sector.
Throughout October, CcHUB will host a lineup of activities, from social media spotlights and teachers’ town halls to webinars exploring the role of emerging technologies such as AI in education. Teachers will also gain subsidised access to select teacher-facing edtech tools, advancing digital literacy and lifelong learning.
