The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria has come down hard on some proprietors of private schools, saying they contribute to the poor
Danjuma, however, admitted that some categories of private schools could never hire unqualified teachers, adding, “We indeed have unqualified teachers who outnumber the trained teachers in some of our private schools, but in some of the private schools we have in category one, you hardly can have unqualified teachers outnumbering the qualified teachers.”
Olufowobi said, “If TRCN says most of the teachers are not qualified, you will see many teachers in schools today who do not have certificates in education. Someone who studied English might want to claim that he or she is a teacher, but by TRCN standards, the person is not. The person might have the quality but not the qualification.
According to him, with the increase of unqualified teachers in private schools, the quality of education in the country would continue to fall. Another educationist, Dele Olateju, lamented that having unqualified teachers to teach pupils at the basic level might deprive them of adequate learning standards and exposure.
He added, “The implication of having many unqualified teachers is that it will produce substandard background and the quality will be watered down. Those pupils will suffer at the end of the day.
