Josiah Ajiboye, registrar of the council, spoke on Thursday in Abuja when the TRCN signed an MoU with Instill Education, a professional development institute for teachers. Ajiboye said unqualified persons in the teaching profession not only cheat the students but also the system.He said 70 percent of the unqualified teachers lack the prerequisites to be registered by the TRCN.
“A large number of teachers in private schools in Nigeria today are not qualified,” the TRCN boss stated.“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 percent of teachers in the south-west are not qualified as well.“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.
