No fewer than 77, 827 candidates will write the third round of the Professional Qualifying Examination for teachers nationwide.


Lagos state has the highest number of teachers that registered for the examination with 8, 223 while Oyo has the second highest with 5, 599 candidates.

Sokoto state has the lowest number of candidates sitting for the examination with 369 candidates.

The examination will start Friday and end on Saturday in 47 centres across the country.

The Registrar, Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Prof. Josiah Ajiboye, disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday.

Ajiboye said that majority of the teachers sitting for this third round diet are from private schools.

He said the council has strengthened the capacity of its staff to ensure an effective monitoring of the examination.

Ajiboye said that about six Nigerians living in the United States of America and Canada wrote the last examination.

He said: “Nigerians outside the country are taking the examination online. Six of them from outside the country wrote the last one. We had two from US and four candidates from Canada.

“Teachers are now rushing to enroll for the PQE. Some of them are now embracing the use of technology in the teaching profession.”

The Registrar insisted that the December 31st deadline adopted by the National Council on Education to register remains.

“In the last NCE in Port Harcourt, River state, the December 31st deadline was reaffirmed by the Minister of Education and we are going to enforcement it.

“We will start monitoring by January 2020. The monitoring will cover both public and private schools.”

Well received, thanks.Received, thank you.Noted with thanks.

This is a very good way to achieve a good and better country that we hope to have.

MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE are the top two ways for a country that want to develop to key into.

We will get there.

I think they should be watched closely because them fit dey do expo inside exam Hall.

Thar's right

Nice. But in my opinion, still doesn't change anything.
Mere formality and another addition to stacked paper certificates.

Nigerian teachers especially those in govt schools ar so poorly paid,its unfortunately dat we ar in a country where politicians cashout millions every month for doing notin while teachers goes home with peanut

I hope the examiner and the examinee good luck in their endeavour.

How with the peanuts they pay them,so what happens to those who fail.

The Teachers Registration Council examination or whatever it is called is nothing but a money-generating avenue for those in that council! The threat from government to sack non-professional teachers from its schools is also ill-advised.
Records and experience have shown that the best teachers are not those who have the teaching qualifications. As a matter of fact, and as far as Nigeria is concerned, those who study Education are mostly those who could not secure admission into other Faculties. That's about the faculty where you have the dullest brains. No thanks to the way govt at all levels in Nigeria regards and treats teachers!
Let January 2020 come, and let the government carry out their threat on this anti-people policy, afterall we already know that Nigerian government at all levels never ever mean well for the people!

A welcome development

If only you know what this exam means to Nigeria immigrants in another country. You won't say it's formality.
