Mr. Sonny Echono, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, says every qualified and licensed teacher would be employed as part of efforts to rid the system of unqualified teachers.
NAN reports that Echono said this while monitoring the May Diet of the Teachers Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE) organised by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) in Abuja on Saturday.
“We are dead serious about implementing the policy and we are also working very hard to ensure that we also are ready.
“The first thing that is going to happen is that TRCN and NTI are compiling a database of qualified teachers, those that have been certified, those who have taken this examination who are unemployed.
“And we are going to do it and even segregate them state by state and make them available to each state.
“That is going to be the first starting point, that anybody who has been certified as a teacher should be employed because we have no excuse for that.
“We have a huge debt of qualified teachers, so all those that we have should be engaged to work, and all those who are not qualified we are sorry, we have to move them out of the system."
