\n
Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, said that no fewer than 1,000 teachers in the state were relieved of their appointments with the state government because they were employed in a hazy manner.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThe governor stated that the affected persons thereby remained unqualified for the job.<\/p>\n

Soludo, who made the clarification in a statement signed by Chris Aburime, his Press Secretary, on Thursday, said that no qualified teacher was sacked by the government.<\/p>\n

Soludo said that the termination of the appointments was in line with his administration\u2019s effort at repositioning the education sector according to standard practice.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nThe statement said, \u201cThee attention of the Governor has been drawn to publications on protest by Parents\/Teachers Association teachers, purportedly converted to permanent staff in Anambra schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe protesters, who barricaded the entrance of the state House of Assembly, displayed placards with various inscriptions, claiming to have been engaged by the state government before the termination of their jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, no qualified teacher in the state\u2019s school system has been relieved of his\/her appointment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe affected PTA teachers who were \u201cconverted\u201d to the school system in the last days of the last administration in irregular, hazy circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were only asked to regularise their employment with the government by taking part in the online teachers\u2019 recruitment test.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cThe idea is to ensure that only those with requisite qualifications, proven capacity and commensurate experiences are recruited into the system.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt all times, Prof. Soludo means well for the good people of Anambra State and will stop at nothing in giving them the best, education inclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the affected teachers said they were duly employed and issued appointment letters by the last administration in November 2021 but were sacked in April 2022.<\/p>\n

They said they had served the Anambra education school system for between two years and seven years as Parents\/Teachers\u2019 Association teachers.<\/p>\n

They argued that if they could be engaged in that capacity, they should also be worthy of regularised employment.<\/p>\n

The sacked teachers said it was unfair to sack them unceremoniously after working for about seven months without pay and called on the governor to kindly reinstate them.<\/p>\n

The state government had advertised 5,000 vacancies in the Education and Health sectors, in which no fewer than 31,800 were shortlisted for computer-based test.<\/p>\n

The online examination is scheduled to hold on June 11.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
