The federal government says it will begin limiting the entry point of teaching only to individuals with second class upper and first-class divisions.

This was disclosed by the permanent secretary, federal ministry of education, Sonny Echono on Saturday, November 14.

Echnono said teachers without requisite qualifications, competencies and practicing license are presently migrated out of the Nigerian Teaching Service.

President Buhari had earlier stated that only the best should be allowed to teach.

His words: “By 2021, we will not engage teachers if they don’t meet the particular threshold, we are now limiting entry point of teaching only to the best who are qualified, we will engage individuals with second class upper and first-class divisions.”

Echono made the comment in Abuja while monitoring the conduct of the 2020 October Diet Batch B Teachers’ Professional Qualifying Examinations, (PQE).

He added: “We will make arrangements for conversion programmes for people who have these categories of results from other fields, they need to learn pedagogy, methodology, through the NTI and the TRCN, and they will undergo specific programmes that will empower them to teach.”

I do hope we are not towing the line of failure. It's one thing to have a first class degree but to teach is another ball game completely.
