Decrying that 70 percent of the unqualified teachers lacked the prerequisites to be registered by the Council, the TRCN boss said a large number of teachers in Nigeria had never been exposed to training and had been using outdated equipment for illustration.NYSC Portal
He said: “A large number of teachers in private schools in Nigeria today are not qualified. We wanted to use a consultant to get revenue from teachers in private schools. When we carried out a survey, we observed that a reasonable amount of 70 percent of teachers in the Southwest are not qualified as well.
“They are not registrable with the TRCN. So that is to tell you that there is a big gap. So, you cannot call them teachers but cheaters. You know that there’s a difference between teachers and cheaters. If you are not a teacher, you must be a cheater.
“These people do not possess the requisite qualification to register them and so there’s a big gap. So, we are looking into the future to fill up that gap like it’s done in South Africa.”JAMB Result
