The statement indicated, “All candidates are required to submit their applications online. The minimum qualifications include a bachelor’s degree in education or a degree in relevant fields along with a teaching certificate such as B.Ed, BSc. Ed, B.A. Ed, or BSc plus PGDE or NCE. Those lacking these qualifications will not be eligible to take the test.”

The chairman stressed the importance of closing human resource gaps in schools situated in remote areas.

“The recruitment drive mainly aims to fill personnel shortages in rural educational institutions. Teachers with a focus on STEM subjects will be given preference, along with certain subjects in the Arts and Commerce fields. Applicants are encouraged to apply only for subjects listed on the application portal,” he noted.

He explained that the recruitment process will entail multiple stages, including online applications, a computer-based test, interviews, and peer teaching demonstrations.

“Only candidates who fulfill the criteria will move on to the CBT. Those selected will also need to undergo drug testing, which aligns with the government's commitment to combating drug abuse and safeguarding students from its effects,” Abubakar added.

He also mentioned that applicants must upload a certificate confirming their local government origin and specify their local government of residence at various stages of the process.
 

“Applicants should be no older than 35 years by January 31, 2025. Anyone displaying conduct inappropriate for a teacher and role model will be disqualified at any point in the process,” he cautioned.

Abubakar acknowledged Abdulrazaq’s commitment to revolutionizing public education in the state.

“TESCOM genuinely appreciates the governor for his unparalleled dedication to enhancing public sector education, as demonstrated through the administration’s clear policies and substantial investments since 2019,” he remarked.

He also stated that the application portal and additional details concerning the recruitment process would be announced soon.
