Kaduna State government has dismissed 4,562 newly-recruited teachers a few weeks after they were issued with employment letters to replace those sacked for failing a competency test.

The state Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Ja’afaru Sani, who stated this at a briefing yesterday, explained that the newly-recruited teachers were sacked because they found their ways into the service of state government through dubious means.

The state government had sacked 22,000 teachers that failed competency test based on questions meant for primary four pupils and announced that it will replace them with competent teachers, based on a competitive recruitment exercise.

Sacked, again

However, at the end of the exercise, some of the teachers could not correctly write acceptance letters, forcing the state government, according to the Commissioner, to organise another screening for all the newly-recruited teachers.

The 11,335 newly-recruited teachers, predominantly degree holders, including a few with Master’s degrees, have already been deployed to over 4,000 primary schools.

“This was after they had undergone vigorous induction training, along with the remaining old teachers, to equip them with modern teaching techniques and effective classroom management.

“We are hoping that between now and next month ending, we will be concluding the recruitment process of the balance of 13,665 teachers.”

Smart teaching tools

The commissioner added that “we want to equip our students with the information and communication technology skills to enable them compete favourably in the current technology-driven world.”

The commissioner said to achieve technology-based teaching, the state was distributing tablet computers to teachers and students, as well as installing smart boards in schools.

Sani noted that the state Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, had concluded the recruitment of 11,335 teachers out of the 25,000 vacancy it earlier advertised; about 40,000 applicants sat for the recruitment examination, out of which 27,639 were invited for oral interview.

He added that 15,897 of the applicants were successful, but subjected to further screening to fish out those allegedly smuggled into the list.

Sani added that the applications for the remaining balance of 13,665 are already being received, adding that the process will commence once approval is granted by Governor Nasir el-Rufai.

Confused government. Employed and sacked already. Who created the loophole where they entered through in the first place? These people just like making jest of Nigerians. One malam without certificate is in London vomiting rubbish from his dirty gworo chewing mouth about Nigerians being lazy and not wanting to go to school. But refused to tell them that his useless administration is the worst so far in funding education.

Let's allow sanity to raign, if not Nigeria will remain a laughing talk forever.


Kaduna govt, una Weldon!

funny but walking in good direction

The midget is right on this one with kinda graduates they're churning out around the northern region.

E don tey wey North don dey shift goal-post lowering cutoffs, man manipulating quotas etc churning out half-baked cretins and still souping up major opportunities for their dullards in the failed Quota System to the detriment of other tribes, now their penalties don dey enter throwing.

If Federal Civil Servants got the same test, we know those who would get hit the most and we're not being tribal.

It's simple logic: Garbage In, Garbage Out. But, a predominantly northern-influenced govt, regardless of who's president over the years, ensured the garbage always rose to the top!

Take it easy, you are so off

Kaduna people don enter one chance.

O boy shuuuuuuu

Something that was just a plot to sack Christians and bring in their hausa muslims that cannot even construct a good English sentence....if you hear them speak sef you'll be wondering what breed of English they are speaking

is this man a human at all? heheehehehehe all those resigning cos em hear say hell-rufai dey recruit how market

Yes! Time to do away with paper qualifications

Kaduna will reap the benefits


it's painstaking

but it will be worth it eventually

How do you mean?
For me i think the state did the right thing for setting up another round of examination for the newly recruited teachers.

Elrufai get skushis for head.

What a joke! Who allowed the loopholes that enabled them enter? Ghosts I suppose.

shortgun:
Yes! Time to do away with paper qualifications

But not time to do away with the person at the helm of affairs of the country with a lower qualification abi?

This miget again?

In fact i have nothing to say

Kaduna people should just enjoy their change in peace

I think it's a good idea. Better corrected now than later

That confusion, hatred,darkness and sentiment will just kill you,sentiment apart let us give kudos to whosoever did it right,in Lagos state the recently appointed secondary school teachers are just bunch of mediocre,one alcohol seller was brought to my school to teach English,she can speak simple and correct English,even her teaching skill and ethic is minus 10,Lagos state government just gave failure to the students,it is so pathetic

lol



short devil is a confused man

If it is because for failing the competency text and dubious means well let it be so .

But Nigeria has failed in all sector the truth must be told.

This yeye government needs to sit down and think. The people should recall the governor immediately

Ko

I believe his bold steps will help curb de rot in their educational system. I schooled partly in de north, & I know how backward their system is. After every end of semester exams, de Emirs come to school to meet with de authority to increase de marks of their indigenous students by minimum of 30%. Funny enough, those dull students will tell u boldly that even a Pass grade will get them automatic employment letters in a choice federal establishment & oil companies in de south. God bless Nigeria!!

All other northern states should emulate kaduna state. This move will benefit in the long run. Governor El Rufai himself is a first class graduate and also a Harvard Alumnus, so he will definitely want sound minds.
The reverse is true if you have an uneducated Governors at the state houses

El-rufai be preparing 2 become d next president of dis country. Dis is d kind of attitude we need, if it's not right regardless of d energy or efforts invested, it shud be flushed out.

Those that have gone did thanks giving in their church should better go back and collect their Thanksgiving offerings

This midget the find way to boycot salary abi

what with kaduna and teachers anyways...?
