Federal Government has banned unqualified and unregistered teachers from teaching in both public and private schools across the country.
Registrar, Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN, Prof. Josiah Ajiboye, made this known during the 10th Education Conference in Abuja, yesterday with the theme: “Improving Education Standards and Emulating the Global Perspective and Practices.” He also noted that the 500,000 teachers’ scheme of the Federal Government would not employ teachers without registration certificates and licenses from t TRCN.
He said: “Presently, it has been accepted by the Federal Government, the President, the ministers of education have agreed that no one again that is not qualified, that is not registered with TRCN will stand in front of our classrooms.

“I can assure you that no one will be employed as a teacher by the Federal Government without license and registration certificate.
“We are calling on all teachers, if you know yourself and you refer to yourself as a professional teacher you must be registered with TRCN. You must carry our certificate and our license.
“At the last induction ceremony that was conducted last week in OAU, six professors registered with TRCN and 14 other academics were also inducted into the teaching profession.”
Prof. Ajiboye, urged teachers in both public and private schools to ensure they were duly registered and licensed by the council.
He disclosed that the Kaduna State government had directed its teachers to obtain their licenses and registration certificates before they would be promoted.
“Teachers in private schools are also expected to be registered and licensed by TRCN. According to the law establishing the council we are the ones who can talk about who is a teacher in this country.
“Currently, teachers in private schools are responding to TRCN’s call for them to come and register. Now we are in the level of persuasion when we move beyond this level we will go to the enforcement of the law,” he added.
