The Federal Government (FG) announced on Thursday that plans are already underway to ensure workers of the teaching profession are the highest paid in the civil service.

The FG explained this would help attract the best brains to the teaching profession.

This pledge was made by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, during the inauguration of the Governing Councils of twenty-one Federal Colleges of Education.

Adamu, who was represented by Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Anwukah, said the teaching profession had ceased to be “all-comers affairs.”

He warned that teachers in Nigeria across all levels must register with the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) before the end of this year or risk being sent out of classrooms.

Adamu said the government had understudied Malaysia and came to the realisation that the country got it right by first taking a critical look at teaching and teacher education.

He noted that Malaysia in the quest for greatness had brought down its education sector and reorganised it for effective development of human resource in order to get to where the country is today.

He said: “What did they do? They brought the whole system down and ask what do you want us to do in education. Their planning was geared towards the development of human resources.

In Malaysia, the top percent of those who scored the highest in their equivalent of JAMB compete to be teachers.

“If you are a teacher in Malaysia, you are to ranked than any other worker in the country. This is why you will find people with PhDs teaching in primary schools.

Teachers are paid higher than any other person in Malaysia and we have made that recommendation and we are going to do that in Nigeria,” he said.

Adamu, also lamented the dearth of quality teachers Nigeria, saying it was unfortunate that the noble call had not been able to attract the best and the brightest because of inadequacies in the system.

He insisted that the current administration was ready to get it right with the cooperation of all stakeholders.

If only its true. I read science education

Story

Thumbs up to the federal government if this is achieved.

Teachers are soo undervalued in this society, hence the drop in the graduate quality of this country.

Imagine a Bsc graduate unable to perfectly communicate in written English (Application letters) and that person passed through the four walls of a uni?

Sad!!

All those teachers from a poor system... What do they really know? We see their products daily!

Scam

the faking continues

Venezuela loading,,,,,,,

Hope they would earn higher than politicians as well

Talk is cheap

The question is how many federal government secondary and primary schools do we have at each state level...

90% of teachers are employed by state government and private schools

Just like federal goverment approved minimum wages knowing no one earns that on their payroll only states still has such burden

I don't understand

Education is an industry that's strictly driven by MERIT. As long as mallam rules, federal xter must thrive. Meritocracy cannot thrive.

Buhari if working, Wike and Nnamdi Kanu are loosing.

Indeed .

Nigeria to be having 24 hours power supply

$1 to be N1

Subsidy payments to be stopped

Nigerians to say goodbye to corruption

Nigerians to feel good governance

More jobs to be created

The fact that Nigerians at this age still believe whatever these Guys tell us is really saddening and that's why they see us as Gullible and dish us lies such that we begin to wonder if we're the ones being ridiculed like that... C'mon we're not kids... Until it happens, it hasn't happened... All we want is action " so Let's wait till then...
