The Registrar of Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), Professor Josiah Ajiboye has disclosed that about 70 per cent of teachers in private schools in the South West are not qualified to teach children in classrooms in the country.

Ajiboye made this known on Thursday in Abuja at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Council and INSTILL Education on capacity building for teachers in Nigeria.

He noted that a pilot phase of implementation of the MoU would soon commence with a capacity building for eight weeks.

Ajiboye said the MoU has three major components- pre-service teachers, integrating pre-service with in-service teachers and their capacity-building programmes while expressing confidence that the involvement to instil education would bridge the gap between pre-service and in-service teachers.

“With regards to our teachers, if you look at what we have said here today, three major components actually were identified: the pre-service teachers, even integrating pre-service with the in-service. We have looked at pre-service teachers, the in-service teachers and their training programmes and we have been able to see that there is a gap,” he said.

Lamenting that 70 per cent of the unqualified teachers lack the prerequisites to be registered by the Council, the TRCN boss stated that a large number of teachers in Nigeria have never been exposed to training and have been using outdated equipment for illustration.

“A large number of teachers in private schools in Nigeria today are not qualified. We wanted to use a consultant to get revenue from teachers in private schools. When we carried out a survey, we observed that a reasonable amount of 70% of teachers in the South-West are not qualified as well.

“They are not registrable with the TRCN. So that is to tell you that there is a big gap. So you cannot call them teachers but cheaters. You know that there’s a difference between teachers and cheaters. If you are not a teacher, you must be a cheater.

“So, these people are not registerable with TRCN because they don’t possess the requisite qualification that will allow us to register them. There’s a big gap there.

“Instill may be looking in the future on how to fill that gap. Like they are doing in South Africa; they may also, but the major component of this MOU is about the in-service teachers. How do we go about capacitating these in-service teachers, upskilling them,” he said.

On his part, the Dean of Operation at Instill Education, Mr Tom Parry, said the training received through his organisation will always end with a practical applicable component so that teachers have an opportunity to practice and understand.

We know already.

I thank God professor Ajiboye just confirmed what we've been saying all these while.

I see

This is the results of all the manipulation that has been occurring since the 60’s.

On this matter baah, the qualifications of the teachers do not matter if they produce results. I once taught primary school pupils for their preparation of common entrance examz and they passed.
I wasn't qualified but my result was splendid. Finito.....

Hope no problem

If that is the case 99% of teachers of other regions will be fake .

Especially southeast,considering the fact that they consider someone that came distant 3rd as winner of the election.

Hmm

Lots of teachers in Nigeria are not qualified at all to be in the academic environment especially in the university.
I see no reason why students who were able to score atleast 200 in jamb would have majority fail a course and the lecturer would be happy failing them while the school board would see it as an avenue to promote the lecturers.
They are just papery qualified but lack psychology to lead so they use the easy way which is fear.
I'm glad the university environment is changing quickly now.
The lecturers who pride themselves in frustrating students are still there receiving less than 300k salary in this hard economy and less than 5yrs to retirement while they have no tangible investment to hold on to.
They now result to receiving bribes from the yahoo students we now have while ridiculing themselves in class cos no body rates them again.
How life evolves.
I was shocked how easy it is my lil cousin was saying it so easy to manipulate result now in his school. Some boys no dey even write exam sef again.
It's that bad now and it happens in 80% of our govt University. How the mighty has fallen.
More than the govt, those heading the education sect needs to be revolutionised.

Their day just break, something we don know since! They should get out!!!

Nothing but the truth. Hear them speak English language, and you can go mad!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarh

A b.ed graduate who is not registered with trcn is also not qualified. Awon Arindin

90% of the 70% are in private schools. Most private institutions cannot afford to pay qualified teachers so they settle for staff that can be exploited...meanwhile parents will be proudly beating their chests that they have sent their children to good schools

Are the product of illiterate teachers

Education is the most useless system in Nigeria. The curriculum does not in any way reflect the the people and needs of Nigerians. The institutions are devoid of teaching materials and tools. The teachers are half-baked or not trained at all. The few qualified ones don't have the necessary incentive to utilize their skills. The students are not even eager to learn because their poorest neighbors and relatives are the educated, so they're focused on fraud and prostitution

This is something to be really concerned about, and it is glaring for almost everyone to see. There is a big difference between trained teachers and those wannabe teachers that are mostly in our schools now. I don't blame them though, if as a graduate the only employment opportunity available is teaching, what else can you do?

God help and bless Nigeria.

The man be like Lamidi Kanu with tribal mark.
