Kaduna state will soon embark on massive retraining of its teachers, while the state plans to recruit more teachers to provide school children with qualitative education, as 44% teachers in the state are not qualified to teach, Governor Nasir El-Rufai has said.

Addressing an interactive session with selected journalists in Kaduna, he said that the new feeding and other programmes introduced into the state-owned primary and secondary schools aimed at stopping almajirai system in the state by ensuring that boy and girl children of school age were all in school and remained there.

He said the 10 buildings recovered from those who encroached on Rimi College would not be demolished, but turned to staff housing and student hostels, adding that the school would be reverted to boarding school, as it used to be, from September 2016.

He said: “We need to recruit thousands of teachers because the quality of teachers we have is not up to scratch. We need to hire more teachers as 38% to 44% of our teachers are not qualified to teach. We need to give them chance to train and retrain themselves to allow our children have the best of education.

“Our boarding secondary schools we have enhanced feeding to enable them have better quality feeding, we took it out of the hands of the principals and sublet it out to caterers, now we have more people employed. We spend N180 per day to feed each student the parents contribute N7, 000 per term, while we augment it.

“We are introducing school sports and statewide examination because we want public education to be free and qualitative. We inherited 4, 625 primary schools, there is no safe school with windows, doors, toilet and water supply. We started working on the renovation of the schools.”
