Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna state GovernorSays decision to sack them is draconian, destructive
A group, the Mainan Zazzau Communication Committee, has implored the Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, to allow the retraining of almost 22,000 teachers who failed the competency test for 12 months.
It described the decision of the state government to dislodge the teachers, having failed in the exams as draconian and destructive solution to reformation of education in the state.
The group said a window of between six to 12 months should be given to the teachers to visit relevant institutions to update and hone their skills, while those who failed to meet up with the requisite qualifications may then be dismissed “on the condition that they must be paid all entitlements specified during their terms of service.
