AWKA — NO less than 6,000 of the 31,000 applicants who took the online teacher recruitment exams in Anambra State passed.
Professor Chukwuma Soludo, the state governor, authorized the employment of both elementary and secondary school teachers in the state education system barely two months after taking office in order to improve the state’s teacher/student ratio.
Mr Paul Nwosu, the state Commissioner for Information, stated yesterday after the state’s weekly Executive Council meeting in Awka that a total of 6,250 candidates were shortlisted for oral interviews for teaching posts across the state following the recent teachers’ Computer Based Test (CBT).
