The Jigawa State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has reported that at least 9,600 teachers have registered for the upcoming competency test in the state.
The Executive Chairman of the Board, Professor Haruna Musa, shared this information while updating journalists on the Board's preparations for the assessment.
He explained that the purpose of the test is to identify the specific training needs of teachers, which will help enhance their skills and improve educational outcomes throughout the state.
He mentioned that a total of 12,000 teachers are anticipated to register before the process concludes.
Professor Haruna highlighted that this initiative is in line with Governor Umar Namadi's "12-Point Agenda," which emphasizes reforms in the education sector.
