THE Registrar of Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria, Professor Josiah Ajiboye, has insisted that unqualified teachers will have no place in the classroom in Nigeria, explaining that the COVID-19 pandemic only slowed down the enforcement of earlier deadline for teachers to register with the Council. He spoke at a one-day workshop organised by the Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria (ECAN) in collaboration with TRCN held during the weekend in Karu, Nasarawa State. Ajiboye lamented that the teachers’ professional qualification examination and the mandatory licencing of teachers before they could practice has exposed the quacks in the sector. What we need to do is to be able to attract and retain them here and Mr President has started something last year. “If we are able to follow through with the approvals given by Mr President, I believe very strongly that no one will want to leave.
