Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Thursday says his administration will sack more underqualified secondary school teachers across the state this year.
The governor disclosed this on Thursday morning during the weekly ministerial briefing organised by the Presidential media team.
He said some secondary school teachers only have primary school certificates but are teaching in public secondary schools.
El-Rufai said, “We have hired over 40,000 civil servants in the last five years, most of them being nurses, midwives and teachers.”
He said 7,700 qualified secondary school teachers have been employed and would be deployed once he is done purging secondary schools of underqualified teachers.
He said his aim is to raise the standard of the public schools in the state, where everyone can be confident enough to send his son to.
