Education: Sani Uba Decries Mass Failure, Poor Quality Of Teachers In Country by Showbby28: 9:38pm On Nov 27, 2019 |
Kenneth Udeh As bill for establishment of Federal of College Education, Kaduna, scales second reading. Senator Sani, Uba representing Kaduna Central, has expressed his concern over the poor quality of teachers in the country, stating that schools no longer employ teachers who had acquired teacher formal training qualification(s). The Kaduna Senator made this assertion on Wednesday’s Senate plenary during the presentation of the second reading of bill sponsored by himself titled “A Bill for an Act to provide for the establishment of the Federal College of Education Giwa, Kaduna State and for other related matter thereof,2019 (SB.121) “. Sani, during his presentation noted that the mass failures recorded in WAEC,UTME and other public examinations was a result of the deficit in the quality of teachers in schools in the country. He said “The statistics is very scary with the population of our out school children in Nigeria which has risen from 10.5 million to 13.2 million and a massive failure of students in WAEC and NECO examinations. For those who passed out of secondary schools getting admission into tertiary institutions is now a Herculean task due to limited spaces. “In 2017,1.8 million candidates who registered for the UTME were jostling for 850,000 admission spaces. A key issue that has been raised in respect to the falling standard of education is quality of teachers in our primary and secondary schools. “There was a time in Nigeria when teachers colleges and colleges of education were given priority attention by the government. The quality teachers of teachers it produced, raised the standard of education and teachers commanded the respect and admiration of Nigerians. Teaching has currently become an all comers affair, schools hardly insist on employing those who have gone through formal teachers training. The consequence has been a steady drop in the quality of students produced. It is time we refocus attention on teacher’s colleges and colleges of Education. “We must address the quality of teacher’s deficit in our educational system, the proposed Federal College of Education Giwa, Kaduna State . We owe our children quality education, that is the only way we can compete effectively in the global economy. Quality education is the key to unlocking opportunities. As leaders, we are in a better position to understand and appreciate the value of education as a critical tool for economic growth and development. It is, therefore our responsibility as representatives of the people to ensure that we channel funds to serve the most critical needs of the people amongst which is the provision of qualitative education. Senator Gyang Istifanus (Plateau North), speaking in the same vein in support of the bill decried the alarming rate of out of school children in the North. He called on the Government to pay attention to teacher training noting that enrollment of children in schools was insufficient to address the educational challenges. He said” We have witnessed the issue of out school children that has characterised the Northern part of the country and particularly the Northwest and steps are being taken to address this issue through aggressive enrollment of pupils and students. One major issue is lack of teachers that meet up the teaching requirement, like in Kaduna State and became an issue that generated a lot of attention in the country . This requires that we need to have an institution that will train teachers that will be deployed to provide the necessary manpower in schools. It is not enough to have education infrastructure, it is not enough to have enrollment but it’s crucial to have the right staff and teachers that will man the school so established. I support the establishment of the institution (the bill), so that we do not have only the hardware but these software that is the teachers that will man the institutions. The Senate referred the bill to the Senate committee on Tertiary Institutions for further consideration with a mandate to report back within four weeks. https://www.sunnewsonline.com/educationsenator-sani-decries-mass-failure-poor-quality-of-teachers-in-the-country/

Showbby28: The SINator playing to the gallery as usual to the joy of his 200 million mumu fellow Nigerians. If he wants to be taken serious let him lead his other public office holders to reduce their salaries in line with that of other government workers in the civil service, schools, hospitals etc. Why can't he do that ![]() Mass failure and poor quality of teachers will quickly disappear. www.nairaland.com/attachments/2943664_wage_jpeg1488711c5349aed5f79f2e121e58b278 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3473732_salary_jpegb17a7eccd26afd09fff05feea950ccff 6 Likes 1 Share |

He's using lack competent teachers as a smokescreen. The real intention is to get another Federal institution sited in Northern Kaduna while the dominantly Christian Southern Kaduna continues to be marginalized with no Federal institutions there. You already have the Federal College of Education Zaria which is just a stone throw to Giwa. And the same Uba Sani is being groomed to succeed Elrufai as Governor come 2023 2 Likes |

Kaduna is having a FCE already. Kano is also having two: one in Bichi and one in Kano. There are other states like Osun that are not having a single FCE yet their Senators and HOR members close their mouths. Some of them are there just to collect money not actually to represent their people. Well done Senator Uba Sanni. |

Jobabori: Osun has the Osun University, College of Education, Ipetu-Ijesa. The question to ask is; how has the State Government made use of the college in addressing the challenges concerning education in the State? Well...it is not the number of schools that matter, but how well the curriculum, standards and other factors necessary and sufficient for the production of quality teachers is addressed. |

Re: Education: Sani Uba Decries Mass Failure, Poor Quality Of Teachers In Country by Quality20(m): 7:09am On Nov 28, 2019 |
Cocolatti:Giwa is central senatorial district or better still zone 2, while southern kad which has a COE is zone 3 and northern kad with FCE is zone 1, so pls don't show unnecessary sentiments here, after all ur zone also has a senator to canvass for anything u want. Talking of 2023,if Uba Sani of APC is being groomed to succeed elrufai, what's wrong with dat? Don't u guys have ur PDP again? Or has PDP been barned in ur area ? u guys will never vote anything APC,even if all their aspirants are christian clerics. The hatred in u guys for any party or person or figure supported by Muslims or hausa is legendary and far worse than d hatred igbos have for Buhari and APC. U guys in southern kad freely attend schools and work in other northern states and northern part of Kaduna, but Muslims from Kaduna and all over Nigeria dare not comfortably attend any institution or work in ur midst in southern kad because they would eventually be attacked, maligned,or have properties destroyed if not killed 1 Like |

Well, to begin with how can a country equate PGDE with NCE and B.ed? It's better to av a well trained & well motivated but less brilliant teachers in our education system than a non professional but brilliant teachers in d system. Inner motivation & professional ability to handle learners are key. It's not just enough to copy d note for the students & tell d whole world u are a teacher. If our government is really seriously concerned about d dwindling standard of education, it should flush out all those teachers parading PGDE in d education system & demand they go for at a 3 year nce or 4 years degree program in Education to become a fully professionally prepared & motivated teachers. Anyone going about teaching with non education certificates or with PGDE is not an ideal teacher. Can d judicial sector call a holder of Diploma in Law to Bar? can an individual pay such person to represent him in a serious case in court? Can a person hold a diploma in Medicine & fully be regarded as a well trained medical doctor? PGDE is far away from NCE and B. Ed. |
