       Panel Summons 1,300Edo Teachers For Certificate Screening
       By: Ebenezer Date: August 7, 2013, 8:23 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Edo State Government on Tuesday said it had invited 1,300
       primary schoolteachers with certificate irregularities and age
       records to appear before a verification committee to defend
       themselves.
       The state governor, Adams Oshiomhole, made this known in a
       meeting with the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress and
       the Nigeria Union of Teachers in the state.
       In a statement obtained by our correspondent, the governor
       saidan audit carried out by the state Information and
       CommunicationsTechnology unit showed that 789teachers of the
       1,379 obtained their Primary School Leaving Certificates before
       they were eight years old.
       The governor, who explained that the exercise was not a
       witch-hunt however said those who have become too old to teach
       would leave the service.
       He said, “It is not my wish to preside over dismissals, first it
       is not cheap. Secondly, I have a responsibility to keep Edo
       going and ensure that our children are in the good hands of
       teachers, who are still strong to stand and are competent to
       teach.
       “If the facts reveal that there are teachers in the classroom,
       who do not have the requisite qualification, you cannot insist
       that they remain in the system. The good news is that those, who
       are not too old, who are capable of training, if we find that
       they are deficient and it is possible for them to benefit from
       training, we will give them training. What is not acceptable
       isto say it is business as usual.
       “We can mismanage everything in our country, if you mismanage
       education; you are killing our tomorrow, our collective future.
       The roads we are building, we will not have brains to look over
       them. In the absence of brains, we will not have growth and
       development.”[br][br][br]You can email this topic to your friend
