Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Malam Yusuf Kabir, said the teacher recruitment followed a transparent, merit-based process designed to ensure that only qualified and competent candidates were employed into the state’s basic and secondary schools.
He explained that the exercise was guided by the Kano State Teacher Policy, which introduced aptitude tests and other assessment procedures to improve teacher quality and raise professional standards.
Kabir noted that recruitment alone would not guarantee better educational outcomes unless teachers are properly deployed, supervised, mentored and continuously evaluated.
He assured that the newly recruited teachers would be posted to schools where they are most needed, while robust monitoring mechanisms would be maintained to improve teaching quality and pupils’ academic performance.
The SUBEB chairman also called on communities, development partners, corporate organisations and traditional institutions to complement government efforts, stressing that sustainable improvement in education requires collective responsibility.
He commended Governor Yusuf for sustained investments in teacher recruitment, school rehabilitation and other strategic initiatives aimed at revitalising the education sector.
UBEC reiterated its commitment to deepening partnerships with state governments across the federation through continued investments in school infrastructure, teacher development and learner-centred interventions to ensure every Nigerian child has access to quality basic education.
