The Zamfara State Government has taken a significant step to enhance the quality of education in the state by recruiting 500 qualified teachers into the State Civil Service. This move is part of the government's ongoing efforts to revitalize the education sector.
According to Aliyu Mohammed Tukur, Chairman of the Zamfara State Civil Service Commission and Recruitment Committee, the recruitment process was highly competitive, with 11,708 candidates applying through the state's online portal. Of these, 8,184 applicants met the required standards and were screened, while 3,105 candidates participated in the Computer-Based Test (CBT).
Tukur explained that 1,033 candidates qualified for the final oral interview, and after a thorough evaluation, 500 candidates were selected for appointment as teachers across the state. The recruited teachers specialize in key subjects, including English, Mathematics, Sciences, and Vocational Studies.
The recruitment committee has praised the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology for its dedication to the exercise. "This recruitment marks a significant milestone in addressing the shortage of qualified teachers and improving education quality in public schools," Tukur said.
The newly recruited teachers are expected to receive their appointment letters soon and will be deployed to schools across the state, with priority given to rural and underserved areas.
