About 21,780 out of 33,000 teachers have failed the primary four examination administered to test their competence by the Kaduna State government.

Owing to the mass failure, the state is now shopping for 25,000 new teachers as one of the plans to restore quality to education.

Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State unveiled the planned recruitment when he received a World Bank delegation in Kaduna on Monday, reported the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).


“We tested our 33,000 primary school teachers, we gave them primary four examinations and required they must get at least 75 per cent but I am sad to announce that 66 per cent of them failed to get the requirements.

“The hiring of teachers in the past was politicised and we intend to change that by bringing in young and qualified primary school teachers to restore the dignity of education in the state,” the governor said.

He stressed that teachers would be redeployed across the state to balance the teacher-pupil ratio.
“We have a challenge with the teacher-pupil ratio in the urban schools; there is a concentration of teachers that are not needed.

“In some local government areas, it’s a teacher-pupil ratio of 1-9 while in some places it’s 1-100,” he said.
The governor said in a bid to improve the education sector, the school directors decided to enrol their children in public schools starting from this academic session.

The World Bank representative, Dr. Kunle Adekola, expressed appreciation to the state for investing in education and for the priority given to the girl child.

“This state has demonstrated and supported us to achieve our goals,” he said.
Adekola said the World Bank would invest N30 million in Rigasa Primary School, which has a population of about 22,000 pupils, as part of its support for the state.

The Education Intervention Fund by the World Bank and other collaborative development partners is providing support to about 13 Northern states and a state each from the other four geopolitical zones in the country.

It is a national problem really; but in the north, its a state of emergency! We have teachers that cannot communicate in English at all. If you have been there, you'll know what I'm talking about.

OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS REALLY IN THE STATE OF COMA. JUST IMAGINE THE SHAME.

Expected.
That's why Kaduna is littered with private schools; coz the public schools are dominated by OLODO teachers and students.

This is serious.

Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies

Aboki teachers

okay. how can they pass primary 4 exam when Kaduna state employs almajiris as teachers?

Not surprised, main reason they can't stop NYSC
The exodus of cheap labor from south to north

Funny

This can't be true.

Hehe... They should be dealt with too.

The same way my maths teacher those days Mr. Okoro used to dress our body with cane. That's his talent. And to make it worse, after flogging you, you must smile and hug him.









Mr. Okoro, anywhere you are now ........crocodile smile for you
























Mr. Okoro aka "No look Uche face"

This is the evidence of corruption.......always wanting to employ those with connection whether they are qualify or not.

I won't doubt it if in future the teachers that failed this examination are elected into public offices or given one government appointment or the other.

El rufai can lie

El Rufai is saying the truth.

I was one of the corpers who invigilated that exam late last year. I was amazed at the low intelligence level of those teachers. Their exam was too cheap for a primary 4 pupil self.

Some couldn't complete their data form on the answer sheet.
.
Some found it difficult to write their names
.
Most times we had to reprimand and/or reshuffle some teachers (old enough to be our mothers and fathers) because they were cheating or lack decorum
.
Almost all of them wanted our help as they got stuck getting answers to extremely cheap questions.
.
One of the teachers challenged me for not dishing her expos when she asked. I didn't know we reside in the same area until we met weeks after the exam. Her challenge was on the lighter mode sha
.
My colleagues and I even spoke bad of their state government for giving "the builders of our future generation" such unbelievable and eye-sore competence test. Moji, Wande, and Bashirat shouldn't be surprised when they hear this news.

I didn't foresee a time like this. I would have kept one of their question papers for you guys to see.

El rufai can lie

The Same regions that produce d highest number of presidents..
no hope for this country

Dis is not d first time even some of our lecturers don't know anything. How can a lecture set exam question for students after some hours he wrote his own on computer base and still fail same questions.

Did I just see 22,000 students? How can a primary school have 22,000 students.

I wonder how their assembly ground will be and how many students per class.

I think they need to split the school into 22 different schools. Say school A, B, C....

You need smaller numbers to teach effectively.

That is like 70% of teachers who took the exam that's to say 70% of students who graduated under this teachers will fail any examination. I weep for this country.

one of their brothers is still leading some people in a group called Nigeria

Are you really surprised or what?.. It seems u hv nva been to the north.. Its true some of them are educated but most are not and are half-baked which technically tells you alot about their teachers...

Abeg Mk they find all those Corper graduates sent for nysc in their states to employ. They are more competence. The salaries will even help them on top the allowance
