The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Professor Olusegun Ajiboye, has warned that the Federal Government will not allow any teacher without the professional certificate of the TRCN to teach beyond 2017.
Ajiboye, who made this known in Ibadan today, explained that the policy is part of the three-year Ministerial Strategic Plan designed by the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu.
According to Ajiboye, the council will stop the present form of registration that does not entail any examination at the end of May 2017, while the first professional qualifying examination of the TRCN will take place at the end of September 2017.
He said the policy was designed to fully professionalize teaching in Nigeria and ensure that only those who are qualified to teach are employed by the government for quality assurance.
