The Federal Government
of Nigeria has directed that all unqualified teachers should be flushed out of
Nigeria classrooms by December 31, 2019.
Registrar, Teachers
Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), Professor Segun Ajiboye, stated this
while inducting over 200 education graduates of the University of Ibadan.
According to him, the
quacks teaching Nigerian children would be thrown out and replaced by qualified
and certificated Education graduates to mould sound future leaders for the
country.
The Registrar noted
that teachers must stand shoulder to shoulder with other professional groups in
the knowledge driven economy.
While administering
the oath of practice on the inductees, Ajiboye reiterated that any teacher
found wanting in the code of practice will be sanctioned.
He also said that
Nigerian teachers now have a separate and unique career path with the recent
approval of Teachers’ Career Path by the National Council on Education
