The Federal Government on Friday directed the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria to completely eliminate unqualified teachers from the classrooms.
Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa gave the directive during the inauguration of the 5th Governing Council of the TRCN on Friday in Abuja.
Alausa also asked the council to revoke licenses of teachers who tarnish the dignity of the profession.
He said it was no longer “business as usual” for the teaching profession in the country as the country was poised to enforce best practices in the teaching profession.
The minister said, “Today marks not only the formal activation of a statutory governance structure but also a renewed commitment to professionalizing the teaching profession and repositioning our education system under the Renewed Hope Agenda of our dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.
“We are also not merely inaugurating a board today, but igniting a revolution in the standards, dignity, and future of Nigeria’s teaching profession.
