TRCN begins teacher registration compliance monitoring in Zamfara

The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) and the Zamfara State Teachers Service Board (TSB) have initiated a compliance monitoring exercise to ensure teacher registration and licensing in Zamfara State. The monitoring kicked off at Government Day Secondary School in Gusau, where TRCN officials educated teachers on the significance of professional registration and adherence to TRCN requirements.

Hajiya Ummu Yusuf Anka, Chairperson of the TSB, emphasized the importance of professionalism in elevating the quality of education in the state. She highlighted that a well-trained, qualified, and professionally regulated teaching workforce is vital for the sustainable improvement of the education sector. Anka urged unregistered teachers to utilize the exercise to finalize their registration and licensing.

TRCN's state coordinator, Nura Shiitu Moriki, explained the benefits of registration, such as professional recognition, career progression, promotion, and access to other professional opportunities. The collaboration between TSB and TRCN aims to enhance professionalism, accountability, and adherence to regulatory standards among educators.

The monitoring teams, which visited schools in all three senatorial zones, will continue the sensitization and compliance checks in selected institutions. The TSB encourages teachers who have not yet completed their TRCN registration and licensing to take advantage of this opportunity to formalize their professional status.
