EKITI SUBEB CONCLUDES INTERVIEWS FOR RECRUITMENT OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

 

The Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has concluded a four-day interview exercise for shortlisted candidates seeking recruitment into the state's public primary schools.

The Executive Chairman of the Board, Prof. Femi Akinwumi, disclosed this while monitoring the exercise at the SUBEB Model Basic School, Ado-Ekiti.

Akinwumi said the interview was aimed at ensuring that qualified and competent teachers were recruited into the state's public primary schools, noting that the exercise was designed to fill existing vacancies and address teacher shortages, particularly in rural and hard-to-reach areas.

He said the state government would continue to maintain high standards in the education sector, stressing that only qualified and competent candidates would be considered for employment.

According to him, the quality of teachers at the primary school level is crucial to the academic development of pupils and their future educational pursuits.

"Once you fail at the primary school level, it will affect pupils at the junior secondary school level and in their future academic pursuits," he said. "I can assure you that Ekiti SUBEB will not compromise when it comes to the future of our pupils."

Akinwumi disclosed that the interview panel comprised seasoned senior technocrats and management staff of the Board, including directors, administrative officers and education officers.

 He said the process included oral interviews and micro-teaching sessions by the candidates.

The SUBEB Boss assured that candidates would be selected strictly on merit and based on their relevant qualifications, adding that only those with the requisite certificates would be considered.

He  commended the Executive Governor of Ekiti, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, for approving the recruitment exercise to fill vacancies in public primary schools across the state.
