Plateau sacks 2,000 unqualified teachers

The state government will replace the sacked teachers.

The Plateau State Government ha sacked 2, 000 unqualified teachers.

The state government had earlier stated its intention to sack 11,000 unqualified teachers.

The Chairman of the Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Lyop Mang, on Tuesday endorsed the sack letters of the 2,000 Grade II teachers on its payroll.

The Plateau Commissioner for Information and Communication, Yiljap Abraham, said the sacked teachers used false certificates to get their employment.

The commissioner said the sacked teachers would be replaced with qualified and competent ones. He said the resolve to lay off the
teachers was in the best interest human development and the future of plateau state.

The state governor, Jonah Jang, had, while presenting his mid-term report, stated that the state government would sack about 11,000
unqualified teachers teaching in public primary and secondary schools.

While providing more reasons for the sack, Ms. Mang said the affected teachers failed to upgrade their certificates to National Certificate of Education.

“They had to go because they failed to upgrade their certificates to National Certificate of Education, being the minimum requirement for teachers in primary school nationwide.

“They were among the 7 000 teachers that were asked to improve upon their status, but failed to do so five years after, they were given
the grace to upgrade their educational qualifications.

“Government had made up its mind to do away with them. More teachers would follow, as investigation is ongoing to fish out all unqualified teachers from schools”, she said.

The SUBEB boss disclosed that recent investigation by the board revealed that some teachers were involved in certificate forgery.

“Our investigation revealed that out of 1 299 teachers who claimed to be graduates of the College of Education, Gindiri, only eight of them were found to be on the graduate list,” she explained.

“This means that 1 291 of them had no business whatsoever with the college.”

The chairman said the board had commenced recruitment to fill the vacant teaching positions in the state. She said the board had already conducted written examination for 6 066 applicants out of which 3,058 had passed the second stage of interview.

According to her, the number to be employed would be determined by the number of teachers that would be laid-off eventually.
