The federal government has stated that it is planning to increase the salary of teachers in the country.
Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, at the inauguration of Governing Councils of 21 Federal Colleges of Education on Thursday said this would attract the best to the profession.
According to him, teachers in Malaysia get a higher pay than other workers.
"They brought the whole system down and ask what do you want us to do in education. Their planning was geared towards the development of human resources. In Malaysia, top percent of those who scored the highest in their equivalent of JAMB compete to be teachers.
“If you are a teacher in Malaysia, you are to ranked than any other worker in the country. This is why you will find people with PhDs teaching in primary schools. Teachers are paid higher than any other person in Malaysia and we have made that recommendation and we are going to do that in Nigeria,” he said.
He however warned that teachers in Nigeria across all levels must register with the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) before the end of this year or risk being sent out of classrooms.
He was represented by Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Anwukah.
