Rivers state governor, Rt. Hon.Chibuike Amaechi says most school teachers in the state are illiterates who could not spell words correctly.<\/p>\n
The governor who spoke at the 2012 World Teachers Day celebrations \u00c2 said\u00c2\u00a0 it is shocking to observe that\u00c2\u00a0 most teachers\u00c2 in government owned schools could not spell words correctly and wondered\u00c2\u00a0 the quality\u00c2\u00a0 of knowledge such teachers impart on students.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I visited Community Secondary School, Rumukwurushi where I met teachers who could not spell words correctly. The policy of this administration is that all teachers must be re-certified of their qualifications. What you studied in 1979 is what you are teaching students in 2012.Are you being fair?<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That is why we said, go and write the qualification examination. With this, we will be able to access you if the NCE is still current, so that while the students are reading, the teachers are also reading,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Amaechi said.<\/p>\n
The governor promised that incentives would be given to teachers to encourage them, assuring that funds would also be made available to schools for the smooth running of academic activities.<\/p>\n
He further urged the teachers to be ICT compliant, adding that teachers who are not ICT compliant would be asked to leave the school system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
