El-Rufai authorizes recruitment of 10,000 teachers

The Kaduna State Universal Basic Education Board’s work plan for the online recruitment of 10,000 teachers has been authorized by Governor Nasir El Rufai.

According to a statement made by Malam Tijjani Abdullahi, the Executive Chairman of KADSUBEB, the Board had given Kaduna State University the task of designing and uploading a recruitment portal, which would go online on Thursday, July 21, 2022.

The Executive Chairman further said that ‘’suitably qualified candidates with either a National Certificate of Education(NCE) from an accredited institution, a Bachelor’s Degree in Education (B. Ed, B.A Ed, B. Sc, Bd, B. Tech in any discipline from a reputable university) are eligible to apply.’’

He claims that beginning on July 21, 2022, the day it goes live, the portal would be active for two weeks before closing on August 5, 2022.

‘’There will be a school-by-school requirement on the portal and applicants are expected to apply to schools closest to their residences,’’ he said, adding that they ‘’ will be screened and successful ones will be invited to sit for a Computer-Based examination at three centres-Kaduna, Zaria and Kafanchan towns.’’

‘’Only those that scored 75% in the examination, which is the standard that has been set by Kaduna State Government, will be invited for an oral interview,’’ he added.

Tijjani also said that ‘’successful applicants are expected to come along with originals and photocopies of their credentials for the interview. The originals will be sighted while photocopies of all certificates will be given to the panel.’’

The Executive Chairman pledged to transmit all photocopies of credentials to the various schools right away for verification.

According to him, hired candidates will be chosen afterward, and KADSUBEB will publish the names and contact information of those who have been hired.

‘’The Board will incentivize postings to rural areas where there are shortfalls in the required number of teachers who applied or those that scaled through the recruitment process,’’ he said.
