The Edo State government yesterday bowed to the
public pressure and cancelled the planned competence
test for teachers in the state just as the government
recalled the 936 teachers whose names had been
deleted from the payroll over certificate
discrepancies and age falsification.
Also, the government announced the immediate
extention of the relativity to teachers in the state
public schools.
Making the announcements yesterday, Governor
Adams Oshiomhole during a meeting with the
teachers’ unions and the Nigeria Labour Congress,
said:
“Coming from my own background, I had obligation to
restore dignity to the educational sector in the state.
Basic Education is like the foundation of a house. If
the foundation is weak, the building will collapse.
“The state government’s commitment to carry out
competency test was informed by these broad facts
having discovered that some of our teachers were not
qualified or up to date with recent teaching methods.
Our insistence on the fact that competency test must
be seen in this light.
“However, having listened to all suggestions and
consultations with various groups, Government has
agreed to set aside the Competency or Assessment
test in order to re assure Edo workers that
government hasno intention to sack anyone.”
Instead, training and re-training for teachers and
other civil servants will be introduced.
