Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) has strengthened its partnership with the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) to promote professionalism in the teaching profession, with the view to bringing to an end the activities of quacks.
To achieve the desired result, a high powered standing committee has been constituted to work out modalities that would help the two bodies achieve their target goal, which is to promote professionalism and end quackery in teaching profession in Nigeria.
They expressed worry over the decline in academic performance of students, attributing it to the activities of unprofessional teachers, who have taken the advantage of weak enforcement to flood the teaching profession.
The Registrar/Chief Executive of TRCN, Professor Josiah Ajiboye, however, expressed confidence that the “new marriage” with NUT would provide a platform for the harmonisation of the database of the two bodies, particularly, in the area of teachers’ registration, certification and licensing.
Professor Ajiboye, who led other management team of the Council on familiarisation visit to NUT headquarters in Abuja, solicited the support and full collaboration of the teachers union, in the effort of the new management of TRCN to sanitise teaching profession in Nigeria. “We want to re-launch ourselves, such that there would no longer be accreditation of faculties of education by the National Universities Commission (NUC) without TRCN representatives being part of such accreditation team,” he said.
