Kaduna State Teachers earn 27% higher than other civil servants

Kaduna State Teachers Service Board (TSB) Chairman, Adamu Makade has disclosed that the teachers in the state earn 27% higher than other civil servants in other sectors.

He revealed this at a workshop on Teachers Issues in Conflict and Protracted Crisis Settings: Documenting the Effectiveness of the Kaduna Teacher Reforms in the state.

He explained that there is nothing wrong with the education sector in the country rather they should be focused on the quality of the teachers.

He noted there should be reforms to address the recruitment, deployment, and retention of teachers in the state.

He stated that measures are being implemented to ensure the recruitment of quality and competent teachers are retained in the state.

He said, “For instance, if you are a teacher on a particular salary grade level and step, compared to your colleague, who is not a teacher but in the same grade level and step, you will discover that teachers earn about 27% higher than other civil servants.”

A University don and Regional Research Director for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Nigeria and South Sudan, Professor Oladele Akogun stated that in order to establish a sustainable environment for everyone with a good education sector, teachers should be treated better than medical doctors.

He said, “A situation where the country has a beautiful policy of free and compulsory education up to 18 years, but in practice, it is not implemented, cannot yield the desired result.”
