Phd holder now a primary school teacher in kaduna

The Kaduna State Commissioner for Education, Science and
Technology, Mallam Ja’afaru Sani, said the government has
recruited additional 13,606 qualified primary school teachers,
including a PhD holder in the state.
Sani said the exercise marked the completion of the 25,000
vacancy announced after the sack of the 22,000 unqualified
teachers in the state in January, this year.
The Commissioner also noted that in addition to the PhD holder,
8,494 of the 25,000 recruited teachers were first degree holders
while the remaining were National Certificate in Education holders.
Addressing news conference in Kaduna on Saturday, Sani also
announced that the state had commenced full implementation of
free education for girls in the public secondary schools across the
state.
This, the commissioner said was in compliance with directives
from the state governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.
He said about 191,445 female students currently in public schools
are to benefit from the gesture which would cost the government
N143.587 million every term and N430.791 million every year
respectively.
He said the decision became necessary in order to remove all
obstacles stopping the girl-child from acquiring education in the
state.
