17,602 Teachers To Sit For 2020 Qualifying Examination, Says TRCN

No fewer than 17,606 teachers across the country are to sit for the 2020 qualifying examinations billed for Nov.12 -14, the Registrar and Chief Executive of the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), Prof. Josiah Ajiboye, has said

Ajiboye, who announced this at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja, said that Osun state tops the list with 1,727 candidates, followed by Adamawa, 1,623 candidates, Nasarawa State 934 candidates and the FCT with 850 candidates.

He said that Jigawa and Ekiti states were, however, excluded from the computer-based examination for their failure to meet the benchmark of 100 candidates per state.

The registrar disclosed that the number was reduced from over 40,000 as in the previous examination, to 17,602 teachers and that the numbers of batches were also reduced from three to two, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The registrar added that the date for the examination had also been staggered to ensure social distancing and compliance with other relevant COVID-19 guidelines.

“We organised a minimum of two qualifying examinations in a year. Last year we conducted three batches of examination but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we made it two batches this year.

 “The effect of the pandemic was so much that learning almost ceased, but for the emergency remote learning techniques like radio and television we adopted’’, Ajiboye explained

He further said: “When we started the computer-based test in 2018 it was as if we knew there was going to be COVID-19 which would change the way teaching and learning is conducted.

“With this development, teachers who are not technology-savvy are now focused on learning how to use technology in teaching and we are happy about that’’.

The registrar commended the Federal Government for making commitments to improve teachers’ welfare in the country while assuring that TRCN would continue to collaborate with relevant stakeholders in ensuring improved quality of teachers.

Ajiboye cited Finland as having the best education system in the world because they placed the ‘’learner at the centre of education and the quality of their teachers is top notch’’, saying that that is what Nigeria should emulate.
