Not less than thirty one percent of public schools teachers in Sokoto state are unqualified, but educated enough to be trained to enhance their qualifications to be in the classroom, a government committee has revealed.

In addition, the committee recommended the
employment of additional 548 teachers in order to achieve a teacher/student ratio of 1:40, the standard set for public schools in the state.
This was part of the recommendations of the schools needs assessment sub-committee of the committee on state of emergency set up by Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal to proffer practical solutions to challenges confronting education in the state.

Presenting the report at Government House, chairman of the sub-committee, Dr. Shadi Sabeh, said a total of 360 schools were assessed and that there is need for the government to urgently act to restructure the imbalance in teachers’ distribution especially between rural and urban areas.
“There’s need to repost 537 teachers from some schools that are over-staffed within the Sokoto metropolis to the many that are lacking teachers in rural areas,” he added.
