KADUNA STATE EDUCATION REFORM, UNDER WATCHFUL EYE OF NO NONSENSE GOV-MALL NASIR EL RUFAI
First batch of new Kaduna teachers ready February 2018.
All teachers being recruited in Kaduna State will get permanent and pensionable appointments. Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai said this today during a meeting with the chairmen of the 23 local government councils and their Education Secretaries.
The meeting received reports from all the 23 councilson the conditions in the schools in their areas. The State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) also gave an update on the recruitment process for new teachers.
SUBEB officials confirmed that the marking of scripts for new recruits has been concluded,  and they assured the governor that the first batch of newly recruited teachers should be ready for deployment the middle of February 2018.
The council officials reported that most teachers in Kaduna State are reporting to work, and ignoring the NUT strike. The field reports indicated that NUT officials are persisting in their harassment of teachers that are reporting for duty. This illegal action is being aggravated the seizure of school attendance registers some of the union officials.
The meeting also heard that many teachers who did not apply anew, or were dissuaded their union from taking the recruitment test are requesting a second chance. Responding to this plea from the Education Secretaries, Malam Nasir El-Rufai said that SUBEB has a programme of continuous recruitment, and as such will give every teacher that is willing a chance to apply and be considered for recruitment.
“We are not interested in pushing any one away,” the governor said. We are pushing bad people away so that good ones can come in. That is why we are recruiting 25,000 to take the place of 21,780.”
The governor said that the police and civil defence forces will provide protection for schools. He warned union officials to desist from impeding teachers that are reporting for work, or from seizing attendance registers. “The right to strike does not include the right to prevent others from working. Union officials are reminded that school registers are public property, and seizing them amounts to an illegal act.
