"Actually it is disheartening we are
affected we can't pretend. We have lost so
many teachers to insecurity especially in
the northeast. It created trauma. Pupils
left the schools. They don’t want to come.
"The teachers themselves left because of
what has happened to their colleagues.
What we are doing is to bring back our
teachers especially in the northeast. A lot
of interventions are going on to re-
motivate the teachers and change their
psyche.
"So many of them left the teaching
profession they don’t want to come back
but now sanity is returning and our
teachers are coming back. Some of them
lost their certificates to insurgency," he
said.
On the deadline to register as
professional teacher, Ajiboye disclosed
that full enforcement against
unregistered and unlicensed teachers
would begin in January 2020, adding that
any teacher not registered by the council
by December 31, 2019 will not be allowed
to practice anymore in Nigeria.
He said letter of reminder was being
written to Commissioners of Education
and the Education Secretary in Federal
Capital Territory on the need to ensure
that practising teachers in their states get
valid license before the deadline.
"That deadline stands. In fact the Minister
of Education has directed that TRCN
should do a letter to Commissioners of
Education and Education secretary in the
FCT to remind them about the deadline. By
December 2019 anyone not registered and
licensed by TRCN may not allowed in our
classrooms. by January 2020 enforcement
will begin," he declared.
