About 4,562 of the teachers newly-recruited by the Kaduna state Government have been sacked.
The commissioner for Education in the state, Ja’afaru Sani, on Tuesday while speaking to newsmen disclosed that the sacked teachers got the employment via dubious means.
According to Sani, some of the teachers could not write acceptance letters which led to the organization of screening for them.
“The 11,335 newly-recruited teachers, predominantly degree holders, including a few with Master’s degrees, have already been deployed to over 4,000 primary schools.
“This was after they had undergone vigorous induction training, along with the remaining old teachers, to equip them with modern teaching techniques and effective classroom management.
“We are hoping that between now and next month ending, we will be concluding the recruitment process of the balance of 13,665 teachers.”
