Great news for aspiring educators and education stakeholders in Jigawa State! In a significant move to strengthen its basic education system, the state government has unveiled a massive recruitment drive set to inject fresh talent and provide job security for existing staff.
The Jigawa State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) has officially announced plans to recruit 4,000 new J-Teach Batch C applicants before the end of December this year.
This exciting development was confirmed in a statement by Comrade Auwal Abba Hadejia, media aide to the SUBEB Chairman, Professor Haruna Musa.
Addressing the Growing Demand in Classrooms
So, what’s the driving force behind this large-scale Jigawa J-Teach recruitment?
The initiative is a direct response to the growing need for qualified teachers in primary and junior secondary schools across the state. By expanding the teaching workforce, the government aims to reduce the student-to-teacher ratio, improve the quality of instruction, and create a more conducive learning environment for every child.
This expansion is crucial for building a solid educational foundation for the future leaders of Jigawa State.
Job Security for J-Teach Batch A: A Welcome Transition
But the good news doesn’t stop there! In a parallel development that rewards dedication and service, the board also revealed that over 1,000 members of the J-Teach Batch A program will be transitioned into permanent and pensionable appointments.
This confirmation process is a landmark step, offering long-term career stability and benefits to these educators. To ensure a fair and merit-based transition, the confirmation will follow a scheduled examination set to hold between the end of November and early December 2024.
Aligned with a Broader Educational Vision
This two-pronged approach—recruiting new blood and securing the tenure of existing staff—is a core part of Governor Umar Namadi’s comprehensive agenda for the education sector.
The initiative underscores a deep commitment to improving education quality not just through infrastructure, but by directly investing in teachers’ welfare, stability, and professional development. Happy, secure, and motivated teachers are the bedrock of any successful educational system.
A Promise of Transparency
Understanding the importance of fairness in such processes, SUBEB has given its reassurance to all applicants. The board has pledged that both the J-Teach Batch C recruitment and the Batch A confirmation exercises will be conducted with the highest level of transparency and in strict accordance with established guidelines.
This is a call for all interested and qualified candidates to prepare, as Jigawa State takes a monumental leap towards educational excellence.
