The
Ondo state Government has directed the immediate massive recruitment of 2,000
teachers into its teaching service.
Briefing newsmen on the development on Tuesday, the State’s Commissioner for Information, Kayode Akinmade said the Governor Olusegun Mimiko has directed the state’s Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) to begin the recruitment exercise in
earnest.
The exercise, according to the Commissioner, is part of government’s efforts to create more gainful employment and improve the standard of education in the state.
Giving details of the exercise, Akinmade said 1,300 University graduates with Teaching education qualification will be employed.
He added that 200 National Certificate of Education (NCE) graduates holders and 500 Non-teaching staff will also benefit from the exercise.
Stressing that applicant must be of Ondo state origin, Akinmade noted further that quality control system will be adopted in the employment process.
This according to him, will include computer based test (CBT), with General Paper, Core subjects and use of English as parameters, adding that qualified candidates will be interviewed by TESCOM which has also been saddled with the responsibility of final selection to be followed by one week induction course by successful candidates.
The government says the recruitment drive is to strengthen the educational sector at the secondary school level as it moves ahead to create a world class standard.
Besides, the measure will provide jobs for the burgeoning population of unemployed youths in the state.
Though the state government had since 2009 carried out teaching employment on the basis of consequential vacancies, it however said it embarked on this massive recruitment to mop up youths from the unemployment market, empower, as well as give them a future and a hope.
The present administration has since inception carried out a number of educational policy at all levels of education in the state from the primary to the tertiary, one of the recent being the heart warming free school bus shuttle which has not only provided succour for both parents and students but has also gone a long way in improving school attendance with the incidence of absenteeism and lateness checkmated.
With this new recruitment of 2000 teachers in one fell swoop, government says it has further demonstrated its determination to further raise the standard of education in the state having benchmarked primary education with the establishment of the first of its kind Mega schools, provision of Science and teaching equipment, conducive learning environment as well as highly motivated teachers.
It will be recalled that the state’s tertiary institutions, the Ondo State Rufus Giwa Polythechnic, the Ondo state’s owned Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, Akoko were adjudged the best state owned tertiary institutions in their different categories in Nigeria by the Transparency International Standard organisation in the United States of America.
The Ondo state government is prioritizing education at this time even against all odds in its believe that education empowerment of its citizenry is the number one antidote against poverty and in-equal distribution of wealth as well as the vision to achieve an egalitarian society.
