Ogun Starts Recruitment for 1,000 Teachers

The Ogun State Government is preparing to recruit an additional 1,000 teachers to address vacancies in public schools across the state.

This recruitment effort is being coordinated by the State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, along with the State Teaching Service Commission, the State Universal Basic Education Board, and the Ogun State Technical and Vocational Education Board.

The initiative, known as the Ogun State Teaching Experience Acquisition Channel, aims to fill existing vacancies in public primary, secondary, and technical colleges.

In a statement released by the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, it was emphasized that prospective applicants must possess at least a National Certificate in Education (NCE) or a B.A. (Edu), B.Sc. (Ed), or B.Ed. with a minimum of a Second Class Lower in relevant subjects or courses.

“Those from other disciplines (different from education) must possess a Post-Graduate Diploma in Education from reputable universities,” adding that “applicants to be considered for Technical Colleges will be expected to hold B.Sc. in Technical Education/B.Sc. in Engineering/B.Eng./HND in Engineering Fields.

“Interested applicants are to apply through the Ogun State Job Portal via www.teach.ogunstate.gov.ng between Wednesday, October 16, and Wednesday, November 6, 2024.”

The Ogun State Government is inviting applications for the recruitment of 1,000 teachers through the Ogun State Job Portal, with the application window open from October 16 to November 6, 2024.

Successful applicants, referred to as TEACH Interns, will be assigned to Local Government Areas where their services are needed and will receive a monthly stipend for two years.

After this period, they will be assessed on various criteria, including expertise and commitment, to determine their future in the teaching profession.

This recruitment marks the final batch of 5,000 interns promised by Governor Dapo Abiodun, following the initial intake of 4,000, some of whom have since secured permanent teaching positions.
