Secondary schoolteachers in Taraba must have master’s degree — Gov. Agbu
The Taraba State Government is set to make master’s degree the minimum academic requirement for anyone intending to teach in the state’s secondary schools.
The state governor, Dr Agbu Kefas, who disclosed this on Sunday, January 7, also said that the minimum academic qualification for primary schoolteachers will be a university first degree.
Speaking with journalists in Jalingo, the state’s capital, Kefas said the current era when the National Certificate of Education is the minimum academic qualification for primary school teachers will soon be over.
According to him, “In no distant time, primary schoolteachers in the state must be first degree holders while secondary school teachers must have a minimum of master’s degree to enhance the quality of education in the state.
This is the main reason we have slashed the school fees for undergraduates in the state university. We must secure a good future for our children.
