Plans are underway to sack unqualified teachers in the Kwara State Teaching Service by December.
Deputy Chairman Kwara House of Assembly Committee on Education and Human Capital Development Mr Olumide Awolola made this known, Friday in Ilorin.
The legislator, who spoke when the Civil Society Action Coalition on Education For All (CSACEFA) paid an advocacy visit to the Assembly, said the step was aimed at reforming the state’s education sector.
According to him, a circular has already been issued to that effect as the state government is committed to providing qualitative education.
He said the sack of teachers with out professional qualifications would be carried out alongside other initiatives to restore the lost glory of the education sector.
Earlier, the state’s Coordinator of CSACEFA,Hajia Nimat Labaika, urged the government to urgently address the rot in the education sector of the state.
The rot, she said, was inimical to education and human capital development in the state.
