The federal government yesterday said any teacher who fails a Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE) prepared by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) before December 2019, would be dismissed from work.

Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Sunny Echono, made the announcement during a computer-based PQE in Abuja. He said the access and quality of teaching and learning must be improved at all levels.

“In the past there was the shortage of teachers and many unqualified persons were taken to fill the gaps. Now, there are many qualified teachers who have been trained and certified and we have put December 2019 for anybody who is not certified as a teacher to be migrated from our classroom. They will find jobs elsewhere,” he said.

He said there are many qualified teachers who are waiting to be employed and that states and the federal government have started giving them jobs.

He said, “we recently employed over 1,000 qualified teachers in unity schools, so we are gradually weeding out the unqualified ones.”

He said government would provide the necessary teaching and learning facilities in public schools.

The Registrar of TRCN, Professor Josiah Olusegun Ajiboye, said about 22,000 would-be-teachers wrote the exam this month nationwide, including 900 in the FCT. Another exam is scheduled to hold in October.

He said candidates with vision impairment have been registered but that the council was discussing with the Federal Collage of Education (Special), Oyo, to prepare their questions in Braille.

He further stated that the council was working with some institutions to prepare questions in Arabic.

Another round of sacking of teachers after the kaduna teachers saga..




Hmmmm teachers have entered one chance ..


Just saying tho ..

#THISISNIGERIA, why did you employ them in the first place ?

Said than done

This is my country

The major problem is that most of this teachers preffare staying idle than teaching their students today especially in govt schools.

Teachers are being paid poorly the FG need to look into that too. Even people that study Education in the university don't want to be teachers. The pay is not encouraging

Nice move

We keep complaining that teachers are not well paid, but nobody complains about the quality of the teachers in question, if the Nigerian education sector will ever get better, then not only the salary should be increased, the quality of the teachers should be reviewed

Teacher wey no sabi read
Teacher wey no sabi write
Teacher wey no dey come class
Teacher wey dey give students mathematics as note to copy
Teacher wey dey allergic to chalk
Teacher wey dey flog till person pikin die


Let's stop crying foul, I do not love El-rufai, but soon we will see the positive effect of sacking those dullards


Asides the political undertone to this move, 90% of these teachers deserve to be sacked, I rather teach my son at home than allow some teachers talk to him

“In the past there was the shortage of teachers and many unqualified persons were taken to fill the gaps. Now, there are many qualified teachers who have been trained and certified and we have put December 2019 for anybody who is not certified as a teacher to be migrated from our classroom.

TIME FOR THE TEACHERS TO SIT TIGHT.

We need to sack unqualified politicians too.....

Federal government this and that! How did the teachers get the employment in the first place??

“In the past there was the shortage of teachers and many unqualified persons were taken to fill the gaps. Now, there are many qualified teachers who have been trained and certified and we have put December 2019 for anybody who is not certified as a teacher to be migrated from our classroom. They will find jobs elsewhere,” he said

This is pure rubbish and this person needs to be sacked for saying this.

I am very certain he is not sure of what he is saying, we need a lot of good teachers on the block, it's personal effort that made me do well in school, I didn't depend on no teacher.

what

Please what about the lecturers?

Very funny....may 2019 you all will leave office

My question is, how did they get employed initially?

The system is so rotten, we know the region this will affect most but the federal might will work its way.

After they must have left office .. Abi

Dec. buhari would b long gone.

#THISISNIGERIA, why did you employ them in the first place ?

They came in through the window

I support this move by the FG if only after the competency test, Teachers will earn more than president, senators and governors.

and besides, President Muhammadu Buhari doesn't even have moral justification to oversee Such activity.
he also failed his competency test.

As if they will be around till that time.

Still they will be screaming that they want to create million jobs for the youths, whereas they're firing people anyhow

A child that says he will use d head of a fowl do pepper soup when eventually grows old, d head of d fowl will never allow such child to see adulthood......... (Lord Lugard et al.,2003)

It will be great if the teaching profession is sanitized in Nigerian public schools.

Chai, see Lai Mohammed method.

Sack 5 million from all sectors and employ like 1.5 million. They will then use propaganda to inflate that 1.5 million to 5.5 million jobs created.

I think December 2019 is too far though...Except there's a political undertone to it (if you know you know)
