The Federal Government of Nigeria has launched a Teacher Ethics and Criminal Record Verification Framework to ensure that all teachers in public and private schools undergo thorough background checks before employment.
Spearheaded by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, the initiative aims to restore professionalism and accountability in the education system by entrusting the nurturing of future generations to individuals of sound moral character.
The framework will be integrated into the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) digital portal, enabling real-time registration, licensing, and monitoring of teachers.
This move is expected to prevent impersonation, forgery, and the employment of unqualified staff in schools.
The TRCN Registrar, Dr. Ronke Soyombo, noted that the digital portal will also enhance teacher quality through features such as AI-powered lesson planning and state-level investigation panels.
