TRCN sets to weed out Unprofessional Teacher Come December 31st, 2019
The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) has reiterated that December 31, 2019 remains the cutoff for any teacher not registered and licensed by TRCN to be barred from classrooms.
During a recent press briefing, TRCN Registrar Prof. Josiah Ajiboye emphasized that enforcement across all schools nationwide will commence in January 2020.
“It’s not about threats but action,” Ajiboye stated. “To be forewarned is to be forearmed. It’s crucial to comply with government directives now to avoid issues later.”
Ajiboye disclosed that 80% of registered teachers are from public schools. He advised private school teachers to seize the opportunity to qualify by taking the upcoming October examination.
He also announced that approximately 30,000 teachers have registered for the first batch of the 2019 Teachers Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE), scheduled for June 7th and 8th at 50 Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres nationwide.
Ajiboye further revealed the final draft of the review of Professional Standards for Nigerian Teachers, which will guide conduct for all registered teachers.
