The Federal Government has come out to say that only professional teachers with First Class certificates will be employed beginning from next year, 2021.

Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Arc. Sonny Echonu revealed this recently during a monitoring exercise of the Professional Qualifying Examination, PQE, organized by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN.

According to him, the decision was made to ensure only the best brains are employed as teachers, not second or third best.

He added that there is an ongoing migration of teachers who are not qualified or do not have the requisite qualifications to make way for more qualified personnel and to guarantee top-notch learning in our schools.

His words, “With effect from next year, we will not admit or engage people as teachers if they don’t meet a particular threshold. We are now limiting entry to only the best.

“You must have a first class or 2:1 as minimum and if you have qualification in other subjects that is not in education, we will arrange for a conversion programme to be administered by NTI, TRCN and any university that has faculties of education or this programme because you also have to learn ways of communicating and managing students.

“We are migrating teachers who are not qualified or do not have the requisite qualifications, competency, not licensed or registered to pseamless.out of our classrooms to make way for qualified personnel because we want to achieve learning and teaching and learning occurs in our schools.”
