Teaching: Gombe TSC conducts aptitude test for graduate applicants | Tellwell Newspaper
Apparently to create a highly qualified mass of teachers to impart quality education to its children, Gombe State now conducts aptitude tests for graduates applying for teaching jobs in its schools.
The exercise is in compliance with Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s directive.
Already, the state’s Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) has commenced aptitude tests for about five thousand graduate applicants aimed at selecting only one thousand of the desired teachers.
According to the Chairperson of the Commission, Mrs. Na’omi Philip Maiguwa, the computer based test (CBT), which is already ongoing at the Gombe State University, is expected to last for five days (25th-29th July 2022).
According to her, eligible candidates from the 11 local government areas of the state are expected to show the print out of their application slips, Degree and NYSC Certificates as well as letters of LG indigeneship before being admitted into the test rooms.
She said special arrangemens have also been made for physically challenged applicants.
The Gombe TSC boss commended Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya for giving priority to education and for his determination to turn around the sector, noting that “there is no part of the school component now left out by the governor.”
She therefore called on all stakeholders in the education sector and the citizenry in general to rally round him and give him maximum support to continue to give education its befitting status in Gombe State.
