The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) in Borno said it sponsored
400 grade two teachers in distance learning to enable them to meet up
with the national teaching requirements.
The Chairman of the union in the state, Alhaji Bulama Abiso, told the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Maiduguri that the
sponsorship would enable teachers with Grade Two certificates to upgrade
their teaching skills.
Abiso, who said that the union paid N800,000 to the National Teachers
Institute (NTI) as part of the sponsorship package, added that the
gesture was to assist the teachers to obtain the National Certificate of
Education (NCE).
He said “teachers with Grade Two Certificates were hitherto employed as
good teachers for primary schools but now, only those with NCE or higher
diploma in education are considered as teachers.’’
The chairman noted that under an empowerment programme, the union bought
100 hectares of land for teachers and asked interested teachers who
applied for the land to
pay in 15 months.
The union was working toward ensuring the wellbeing of members with a
view to enhancing the quality of education in the state, he added.
