After graduation from any teacher education programme, every new teacher shall be registered by the TRCN after at least one year of successful internship and mentoring to qualify for licence
Maitafsir said that the internship was a mandatory programme that is expected to last for a year for the holders of the Nigeria Certificate in Education, Bachelor of Education, Postgraduate Diploma in Education, Master of Education and Doctorate of Philosophy in education.
Maitafsir, however, said that the programme would only be applicable to would-be teachers and not to those that have already been inducted by TRCN and given its certificate.“They include e-facilitation and teacher integration in teaching skills, psycho–principles of commitment of teaching and delivery, and retention techniques.
Maitafsir said that all the interns would pay an application fee of N7,000 and an internship fee of N50,000. He added, “It will certainly help in producing highly motivated, efficient and effective teachers for our schools. “There is the need to ensure that only qualified individuals are engaged as teachers to teach in schools.”
