50% of teachers in Kaduna State failed primary 4 test set for them as pre-condition for re-absorption into the civil service, Governor Nasir El-Rufai disclosed this when chiefs and traditional rulers from Southern Kaduna paid him a courtesy call on Tuesday.
The governor also disclosed that students who were sent on overseas study were being withdrawn due to poor academic performance.
He expressed shocks over what he described as “shameful performance of the students because their academic performance in secondary schools back home were convincing enough that they would do better outside Nigeria.”
“This is a clear demonstration of the government’s effort towards improving teachers capacity for effective teaching and learning in public schools,”. El-Rufai
The royal fathers, led by Emir of Jama’a, Alhaji Muhammadu Isah Muhammadu said they decided to visit the governor to express happiness over the recent re-opening of tertiary institutions closed down in Southern Kaduna, since December 2016, as a result of insecurity in the area.
Stakeholders had commended the state government for releasing N312 million for Teacher Professional Development (TPD) in 2016.
