Kwara State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) said Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved its request to hire 1,800 teachers, 100 non-teaching staff and 200 security guards for the senior secondary schools across the state.
The emphasis for the deployment of the new teachers will be on schools in rural areas where there was a lack of teachers, Chairman of TESCOM, Malam Bello Abubakar, disclosed in a statement on Friday in Ilorin.
He said the aim was to promote a safer school environment.
Abubakar said further that the employment application links would soon be released.
“All applications will be online, and applicants must have a Bachelors degree in Education or a university degree in relevant subjects, with a teaching certificate.
“These are B.Ed, B.Sc. (Ed), B.A (Ed), B.Sc plus PGDE or NCE.
“Applicants without the listed qualifications will not be invited for the test,” the TESCOM chairman stated.
He explained also that the recruitment exercise was essentially to bridge the human resource gap in the schools in the hinterland, and applications would therefore be screened along that line.
“The employment of teachers of STEM subjects will also be prioritised in the exercise,” Abubakar said.
He added that the required subject areas in the Arts and Commercial categories would also be indicated on the application portal.
“Persons whose subject areas are not indicated will therefore need not to apply,” the TESCOM chairman said.
He however warned that shortlisted applicants, who should not be over 35 years of age by January ending, would undergo drug tests.
“This will be in line with the focus of the government to fight drug abuse and protect school children from the menace.
”Applicants who exhibit behaviour unexpected of a teacher and role model will be disqualified at any stage of the exercise,” Abubakar said.
