CITING the need to improve quality of education, the Bauchi State government has concluded plan to sack 5,502 teachers who are not qualify to teach.

The Chairman, Bauchi State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB), Abdulahi Dabo, who spoke through an official, Alhaji Kasim Ibrahim, yesterday while reacting to the ultimatum given to the state government by the National Union of Teachers (NUT) to embark on strike over the issue, explained that in a special arrangement with the College of Education, Azare, some of them will be re-trained to improve on their standard and then re-engaged by the board as some of them have families which they have to cater for.

He said about 12,864 teachers were screened out of the 19,533 teachers on ground, adding that “those affected are NCE teachers that could not defend their certificate, claimed that they inherited certificate as well as those with Diploma and Grade 2 certificates who are not qualified as the minimum requirement for teachers is NCE.

“The exercise is a continuous one because we will still screen degree holders,” the chairman said.

They would have to be qualified to remain in service.
They will re-train/re-institute them if they are up for it.

I'm personally happy to hear that. I would prefer my children, by blood or not, be taught by qualified professionals.
Reminds me how My younger siblings once had an english teacher with a conc ibo accent.
fridge was pronounced Fredge.

Good one from Mallam Isa Yuguda, Best Governor on Education for 2011

The chairman should be screen first, he is not an educationist too.
