    The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education has sparked significant transformation in teaching and learning process globally, redefining the roles of teachers. This study examined the ethical and social implications of AI on teachers'' roles in Nigeria, focusing on how these changes impact professional identity, teacher-students' relationships, and job security. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from a randomly selected sample of 300 teachers through structured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, while qualitatve data were subjected to thematic analysis. The findings revealed that while Ai enhances instructional efficiency and supports personalised learning, it also raises concerns about deminishing teacher-students interactions and evolving professional identity. Ethical issues, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and acountanbility, were prominent, alongside challenges related to unequal access to AI tools in rural areas. The study concludes that while AI offers tranformative potential, its integration must be carefully managed to safeguard the social and ethical dimensions of education. Recommendations include policies to bridge the digital divide, support teachers in adapting to AI, and ensure that human-centred teaching remains integral to education in the AI era.

It assists to develop the girl-child holistically in her social well-being, respect for human rights and enhancing her right to education. It also centered on universal values, equal opportunities, respect for diversity and non-discrimination, equality, protection of human rights at all levels, developing solidarity, prevents conflict, sharing of knowledge, impacts skills and moulds attitudes in both formal and informal contexts. The paper therefore examined the goals, objectives, importance of human rights education for the girl-child. This is based on the fact that knowledge and understanding of human rights education will be an essential tool not for only girl-child and the entire citizen to survive as an entity in all spheres of life and to have relative complete peace in our country Nigeria. The education of human right should be made compulsory for all and sundry in both formal and informal education as this will assist to develop the girl-child and the entire populace irrespective of gender, race, creed, ethnicity, status and ability which will curb conflict and mould the attitude of people towards one another generally.
