Twelve thousand of the 21,780 sacked teachers in Kaduna State reapplied for teaching jobs, it was learnt yesterday.
State Universal Basic Education Board (UBEC) will interview shortlisted candidates on Wednesday.
Of the 43,000 who applied, 27,000 were shortlisted.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who spoke through the Commissioner for Education Jaafaru Sani, said those who spent between five and nine years in service would get their gratuities, while those over 10 years are qualified for pension.
Sani added that the government will provide improved welfare for its teachers to enable them compete with private schools.
According to him, the government did not meet with labour before the union called off its two-week-old strike Thursday.
His words: “SUBEB has completed marking the scripts of over 43,000 applicants for the teaching jobs; 27,000 applicants have been shortlisted and would be interviewed on Wednesday.
“SUBEB is working hard to ensure that the first batch of teachers who meet the required competence, qualification and professional standard are deployment in February.”
Its time we stop playing with the future as toy in the hand of babies or of acara in the market. One want to intimidate that one with masters was among the sack, came public and proud to announce that to draw audience and attention. It is only time to defend what you have. Masters indeed, it is no longer news, me and you that most certificates are now being bought for that knows their way through proceed of bribe and corruption. If this how we want to go, but one thing for sure is that there is no magic for good things we preach about. It only hinged on hard work and sincere devotion.
