The Federal Government has approved the recruitment of 3,252 verified Parent-Teacher Association teachers into the federal public service.The approval will absorb educators who have taught in Unity and Technical Colleges across the country for up to 25 years without permanent government appointments.

Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa made the announcement on Thursday in Abuja, describing it as a landmark intervention that addresses a persistent teacher shortage in Federal Unity Colleges.

The approved teachers were verified across three cadres: Education Officers, Assistant Education Officers, and Technical Instructors, following a comprehensive nationwide screening exercise conducted by an inter-ministerial committee before recommending them for regularisation.
