President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of 3,252 verified Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) teachers into the Federal Civil Service. This move aims to address the persistent shortage of teachers in Federal Unity Colleges and improve the quality of education in Nigeria. The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, announced this decision in a statement, highlighting the priority given to these verified PTA teachers who have dedicated over 25 years of service in Federal Unity and Technical Colleges.
The approval is seen as a significant intervention by the Tinubu administration and a major effort to strengthen the teaching workforce. The verification process involved screening eligible PTA teachers across various cadres, including Education Officers, Assistant Education Officers, and Technical Instructors. Upon completion of statutory requirements, these teachers will be regularised and integrated into the mainstream public service.
This development is described as a milestone under the Renewed Hope Agenda and will improve the teacher-student ratio in Federal Unity Colleges while rewarding committed educators.
