Governor Ifeanyi Okowa
Delta
state government has revealed it has started the recruitment of 1000
teachers into the Post Primary Education Board (PPEB).
Chief Patrick Ukah, the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary
Education in Delta State, has said that the recruitment of 1000 teachers
into the Post Primary Education Board (PPEB) was to bridge the gap in
the number of teachers in public schools in the state.
He made this known in a statement signed by Mr Oghenero Orovwuje,
the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the ministry on Friday in Asaba.
Ukah was quoted to have said this when he visited the venue for the
screening of successful candidates for employment as teachers into the
PPEB.
Ukah said that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa was determined to ensure that
the education sector attained a level where students from public
schools in the state would compete favourably with their peers around
the world.
He described the recruitment process as transparent and devoid of lobbying.
The commissioner said that anyone that was employed got the job on
merit, pointing out that only the best candidates that emerged from the
exercise were employed.
He admonished the successful candidates to be diligent in their
duties and bring the knowledge they had in their various fields of study
to bear on their performance.
He said that the ministry would organise training and induction for
them to acquaint them with what they ought to know about civil service.
He warned them against lobbying for posting, saying that the rule
of engagement stated that they would be posted to rural areas for a
minimum of 5 years before their next posting.
The teachers were expected to teach English Language, Further
Mathematics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Basic Science, Biology,
Chemistry, Agricultural Science, Basic Technology and Physics.
