The Ogun State Government has announced plans to recruit an additional 1,000 interns under the Ogun Teaching Experience Acquisition Channel (Ogun TEACh) to address staffing needs in public schools across the state.
The recruitment exercise, coordinated by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology in collaboration with the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), and the Ogun State Technical and Vocational Education Board (OGSTVEB), aims to strengthen teaching capacity in primary, secondary, and technical institutions.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, the government outlined eligibility requirements.
Applicants must possess at least a National Certificate in Education (NCE) or a Bachelor’s degree in Education (B.A. Ed/B.Sc. Ed/B.Ed.) with a minimum of Second Class Lower.
Individuals from non-education disciplines must have a Post-Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) from recognized universities.
For technical college positions, candidates are expected to hold a B.Sc. in Technical Education, B.Sc. in Engineering, B.Eng., or an HND in relevant engineering fields.Interested candidates are directed to submit their applications via the Ogun State Job Portal at www.teach.ogunstate.gov.ng between October 16 and November 6, 2024.
Successful applicants, designated as TEACh Interns, will be assigned to local government areas with the greatest need for teachers.
Interns will receive monthly stipends throughout their two-year placement, after which their performance will be evaluated based on expertise, dedication, punctuality, respect for authority, and adaptability to postings.
This batch of 1,000 interns marks the final phase of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s initiative to recruit 5,000 teachers.
The first 4,000 recruits, who have now been transitioned into permanent teaching roles, are already serving across the state.
