Ogun Govt Begins Teachers’ Recruitment [See Requirements]

Governor Dapo Abiodun’s government of Ogun State has announced plans to hire an additional 1,000 educators to address current staffing shortages in state-owned schools.

The recruitment plan was announced in a statement issued on Friday by the State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof Abayomi Arigbabu.

The statement mentioned that applicants are required to have a minimum of a National Certificate in Education (NCE) or a Bachelor’s degree in Education (B.A. (Edu)/B.Sc. (Ed)/B.Ed.) with a Second Class Lower in the appropriate subjects or courses.

Naija News reports that this recruitment effort is being managed by the State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, working together with the State Teaching Service Commission, the State Universal Basic Education Board, and the Ogun State Technical and Vocational Education Board.

The Ogun State Teaching Experience Acquisition Channel is a unique program aimed at addressing staffing gaps in the state’s public elementary, middle, and technical schools.

“Those from other disciplines (different from education) must possess a Post-Graduate Diploma in Education from reputable universities,” adding that “applicants to be considered for Technical Colleges will be expected to hold B.Sc. in Technical Education/B.Sc. in Engineering/B.Eng./HND in Engineering Fields.

“Interested applicants are to apply through the Ogun State Job Portal via www.teach.ogunstate.gov.ng between Wednesday, October 16, and Wednesday, November 6, 2024.”

According to the statement, successful applicants, referred to as TEACH Interns, will be assigned to Local Government Areas requiring their assistance and will be compensated with a monthly allowance for a period of two years.

Following this, they will undergo evaluations based on various criteria, including skill level, dedication to their responsibilities, timeliness, regard for established authority, and readiness to serve in any location assigned to them.

The 1,000 interns set to be hired represent the final group of 5,000 interns pledged by Governor Dapo Abiodun.

Naija News understands that a portion of the initial 4,000 interns received job offers and now serve as full-time educators.
