REPORT: SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS: Kogi schools turn to PTA for help
On
A shortage of teachers harms students, teachers and the public education system as a whole.
It hampers students’ ability to learn, reduces teachers’ productivity, and consumes economic resources that could be better deployed elsewhere.
The state of education in Kogi State at present is in a state of coma. One of the major reasons being the acute shortage of teachers that has bedevilled the state’s education for many years.
For example, the staff strength of the basic education teachers in Kogi state as of December 2015 was 23,466 which comprises teaching and non-teaching staff, according to a statement from the state chapter of Basic Education Staff Association of Nigeria, BESAN.
