Stakeholders Applaud Hon Ise-Idehen As Bill On Unregistered/Unqualified Teachers Passes Second Reading

Stakeholders in the education sector have given thumbs up to the lawmaker representing Egor/Ikpoba Okha Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Hon Jude Ise-Idehen for his commitment to improving the standard of education in the country.

A professional body, Good Governance For Sustainable Development, GGSD has applauded the lawmaker for his continuous effort in seeing to the advancement of the education sector, according to the body teaching is a noble profession that involves shaping the future of our kids.

This is coming on the heels of the recent second reading of A Bill for an Act to Amend the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria Act, Cap. T3, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 to Provide for stiffer Penalties and Punishment for Unregistered and Unqualified Teachers; and for Related Matters (HB.550) sponsored by Hon Idehen.

The body made this known in a press statement signed by its Ag Secretary, Eng Abbas Ibe.

“This is a laudable bill sponsored by Hon Idehen, no doubt allowing the menace of unqualified teaching to continue without stiffer consequences would result in a decline in educational standards.

All schools, regardless of their status, should adhere to the same criteria and requirements when appointing teaching staff to ensure that all pupils are afforded the same high standards of teaching. We sincerely  appreciate the efforts of the lawmaker as this would go a long way in shaping our kids right”

The body also acknowledged the efforts of the lawmaker in constructing quality blocks of classrooms for students across his constituency while applauding his present tour across schools distributing educational and instructional materials to the good people of Egor/Ikpoba Okha constituency.

“No education system can be better than the quality of its teachers. Being a teacher is not easy because for young kids after their parents it is the teacher who is their role model and that is the reason why the qualification and certification of our teachers should be paramount.”
