For Nigeria to improve on its developmental strides, it must sanitise, invest in and monitor its education sector.
This is according to Prof Josiah Ajiboye, the Registrar, Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, who says to do the needed clean up, political powers must support the fight to rid the nation of unqualified teachers and ensure professionalism in the sector.
Ajiboye who was addressing journalists at an interactive session said teachers were critical to the human and capital development of every nation and as such their qualification and standard process must be accorded the highest form of scrutiny.
He, however, said the teacher qualification examination and the mandatory licencing of teachers before they can practice has begun to expose the quacks in the sector and strengthen the quality of teachers in Nigeria.
