Is teaching job in primary, secondary schools for every graduate? vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Recently, there was a near stampede at Okesa, Ado-Ekiti office of the Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board, Ekiti SUBEB, following the mammoth crowd of applicants that responded to the advertisement seeking to fill vacant teaching positions in public primary schools in the state.However, there was a big snag – majority of the applicants did not have degrees in education or related fields.
Our correspondent sampled the opinions of various stakeholders and they vary from one respondent to the other. Blessing Uchechi: “Some of the untrained teachers do better than the trained teachers. To me, as long as you have all it takes to teach as a graduate, you can go ahead.” Kesiena Adjarho: “In developed countries, not only do you need a teaching certificate to teach, you also need regional certification in teaching before you can teach. Most persons without the teaching qualification do not know the pedagogy to use in teaching even if they are sound in terms of subject content.”
With the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN warning that all unqualified teachers in Nigeria would be flushed out of the classroom by the end of the year, how will the country make up for the vacancies that would be created if the threat is carried out? The Federal Ministry of Education had on June 7, 2019, sent a circular to all school principals declaring December 31, 2019, as the deadline for unqualified teachers to leave Nigerian classrooms.
