Prof. Mathew Sule, Executive Chairman of Plateau State Universal Basic
Education Board (SUBEB) revealed today that the state government has recalled
2,017 teachers it
disengaged in 2014 for presenting unclassified certificates
and failing to meet minimum requirements for teachers.
Sule said, in his efforts to improve the education sector, had approved
their recall to address the short fall of teachers in primary schools in the
state. He also said 519 of the number
who were dismissed from service ‘’for presenting unclassified certificates
during the last biometric capturing were pardoned.’’
The rest he said were, 553 religious instructors and 945 others whose
appointments were terminated. He assured
teachers that had obtained the minimum teaching qualification of the National
Certificate in Education (NCE) that they would be recalled and re-engaged.
Sule said that teachers who were unable to obtain the minimum
qualification but had spent 10 years in service would be retired with full
benefits. The executive chairman said
945 teachers whose appointments were terminated for their inability to obtain
NCE after the grace period but had done so would also be recalled.
