Over 2,000 Fake Teachers discovered in Kaduna State

Gov. Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State said on Saturday that the recent verification exercise by the state government has revealed no fewer than 2,000 teachers with fake certificates employed in public schools.

Mr. Yakowa disclosed this at the second National Joint Graduation ceremony of the National Teachers’ Institute in Kaduna.

He noted that nearly 50 per cent of the fake teachers lacked the required teaching qualification.

He said that in the effort to improve the education sector, the state government had designed a road map that would assist in achieving the desired change.

“The road map is aimed at addressing teacher quality through capacity building, infrastructural development, increasing access and provision of facilities, new quality assurance system and the development of tertiary institutions owned by the state government.” Source
