Noun Conducts Proficiency Test For KadunaTeachers

The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) at the weekend conducted a mandatory proficiency and competency test for all primary school teachers in Kaduna State.

According to the director, Media and Publicity, NOUN, Ibrahim Sheme, the test was conducted in 123 centres across the 23 local government areas of the state.

He quoted the Kaduna State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Andrew Nok, saying that the test “is for effective and quality service delivery at stake.”

While monitoring the exercise, the commissioner said, “You will be surprised to know that someone teaching science, for example, could not define science. Such a person has no business teaching in our schools. What we want to do is to know who is teaching what in our schools and whether the person is competent enough to teach”.
