The Taraba State wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has rejected the Federal Ministry of Education’s decision to waive the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) requirements for admission into colleges of education.
The state chairman of the union, Nathan Solomon, disclosed the union’s position while addressing journalists on Monday in Jalingo.
According to Solomon, the resolution was reached during the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Nigeria Union of Teachers held in Abuja, where members strongly condemned the policy.
He stated that the union was not consulted before the decision was announced and called for its immediate reversal.
Solomon argued that many countries across the world place a high value on teachers by providing incentives and special attention to the profession, warning that the policy could further weaken the education sector in Nigeria.
“The decision will negatively affect the standard and dignity of the teaching profession,” he said.
The NUT chairman also urged stakeholders in the education sector to reconsider the policy in the interest of national development.
He further called on JAMB to take the necessary steps to safeguard the quality of education in the country.
