Teachers Will Earn Higher-FG

   

This was said by the representative of the Minister of State for Education,Prof. Anthony Anwukah, who represented the Minister for Education at the inauguration of Governing Councils of 21 Federal Colleges of Education. That increase in the salaries of teachers would help to attract the best to the teaching profession.

He asked that teachers in Nigeria across all levels must register with the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) before the end of this year or risk being sent out of classrooms.He also said that,  the teaching profession had ceased to be “all-comers affair.”

Adamu, also lamented the dearth of quality teachers Nigeria, saying it was unfortunate that the noble call had not been able to attract the best and the brightest because of inadequacies in the system.

He insisted that the current administration was ready to get it right with the cooperation of all stakeholders.

He added that colleges of education have remained critical institutions‎ because they do not only produce teachers on which everything else is dependent, they also produce teachers at the basic level of education.
