The Executive Secretary, Kebbi Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Mr Sodangi Diggi, on Monday said the state requires 10,000 additional teachers to bridge existing teacher deficit.<\/p>\n
Diggi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Birnin Kebbi that the additional teachers would help to improve students performance.<\/p>\n
He noted that the dearth of teachers in primary and post primary schools was a huge barrier to the development of the education sector.<\/p>\n
“We have constructed additional schools but some were only manned by three teachers.”<\/p>\n
He said more teachers would be employed for the schools while those in service would continue to be retrained for optimal performance.<\/p>\n
Diggi added that the board had in the last four years supported teachers without basic teaching qualifications to acquire the necessary certificates in line with the National Policy on Education.<\/p>\n
“The board will sustain capacity building training to ensure that teachers are more conversant with modern trends.”<\/p>\n
According to him, 5,000 Primary and Junior Secondary School teachers have been promoted as part of efforts to uplift the standard of education in the state. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
