The Registrar, Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Prof. Segun Ajiboye, said on Sunday that a total of 53, 674 candidates passed the November diet of the Professional Qualification Examination organised by the council to certify teachers in the country.

According to the Registrar , 72,947 took the examinations in various centres across the country.

The don , while addressing journalists in Ibadan , said a total of 19, 273 failed the test.

He expressed satisfaction at the Nigerian teachers’ commitment to excellence despite the challenges they face in line of duty.

According to him, Lagos State topped the list of those who registered for the examination with 8,224 candidates. Of this number , he said 6, 067 passed the examination.

“ This is followed by Oyo State with about 5, 599 registered candidates where a total of 4,243 passed. The next is Kaduna where 3 ,769 passed out of 4 ,008 who registered for the examination .”

Ajiboye, who said the professional qualification examination was a continuous exercise , urged teachers who had not yet qualified to register for the next diet to escape being sanctioned .

“ It is a continuous thing and the door is still open to those who have not registered to do so. And those who failed the examination still have opportunities of retaking the examination. The close of the deadline does not mean that PQE has stopped .
“ Registration for the next diet of the examination has commenced in all TRCN offices nationwide . We appreciate the commitment of the Nigerian teachers to excellent delivery in spite of the challenges they face and the support given to TRCN in its efforts to reposition the teaching profession in the country. ”

Most of them were employed based on connect, even when they weren't qualified

No wonder these dull teachers ended up raising a high number of ignorant youths in our society today!

And these are the people producing our leaders...

I see

Hahahaha teaching na job. The whole teachers that taught me back then are still teaching until now. Most of them couldn't even read well as at that time. How do u expect me to sabi book. I no fit sabi joor

Those who attended colleges of education are mostly students who couldn't gain admission to the universities because of their low grades.

75% of teachers are usually not very bright

d

Funny:

If they ban politicians form taking their children abroad to study, they will be importing teachers.

Nah that’s a lot

For the aspiring olodo teachers....

What a wicked govt we have in Nigeria.
On top how much salary?
It’s a thing to graduate while it’s another thing to secure a job..
I just pray God blesses us in this country

Oga oo
I wonder how they want people to pass, with the exam without training. Candidates were just advised to buy past questions and that's all.

I teach in a govt school.When you see d way my headteacher speaks foul english with command,you will weep for this country.

yeye TRCN registration when teacher's in Nigeria are not enjoying their benefits salary entitlement,if not loans some teachers use to live,some are already beggars after retirement.teaching in public schools in Nigeria doesn't enticed a man.

I'm not surprised, we now have hustlers in the system not teachers. Country hard abeg.

And SW and Kaduna top the list of most registered teachers.
Kaduna has 94% pass rate while SW has over 70% pass rate.

How would they pass when the sector is not being made attractive to kids with best brain? How would they pass when scholarships opportunities are not being given in Education courses like they give to Medicine, Engineering, and Law?

Teachers don teach many students NONSENSE!!

You guys and ignorance on nairaland is so annoying. The professional exam wasn't on subject areas but education. 90 percent of the good teachers in our schools never did education in university or even colleges of education, failing that professional exams doesn't equate to teaching students nonsense like most of you here are thinking.
