On the procedure for the recruitment, the statement emphasised that a community-based job recruitment approach will be adopted without compromising competence and qualifications.
Recruitment is going to take place at the local government level or at the nearest communities/villages where their services are greatly needed, it added.
Successful candidates will sign a bond of non-movement or transfer from their new place of work for the first 5 years — a condition that is based on the experience of teachers not staying in the hinterlands.
The Board Chairman said the exercise aligns with the Governor’s commitment to strengthening the educational sector, especially at the local levels, adding that all local government areas will be adequately represented in the process.
“The recruitment drive is part of the Governor’s commitment to strengthening the educational sector in Kwara State, ensuring that each community within the 16 LGEAs receives adequate educational resources and support,” Chairman said.
The SUBEB Chair added that the exercise will last for 3 weeks from the date of commencement.
This is because the 2024/2025 resumption date is coming up soon in September, 2024, it added.
Schedule of recruitment exercise across the state will be released soon, according to the statement.
