FG Sets TRCN Certification As Mandatory Condition For Schools Hosting Public Exams
The Federal Government has announced that, beginning in 2027, only secondary schools with teachers certified by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) will be allowed to host public examinations such as WASSCE, NECO, NABTEB, and NBIAS.
The directive was contained in a memo issued by Tunji Alausa, Minister of Education, to the TRCN registrar. Alausa said the policy is aimed at strengthening professionalism in the teaching profession and improving the quality of education across the country.
Starting in March 2027 (WASSCE), May 2027 (NABTEB), June 2027 (NECO), and June 2027 (SAISSCE), any school whose teachers are not duly registered and licensed with TRCN will be disqualified from serving as an examination centre.
The minister also directed state governments to ensure compliance among teachers in both public and private schools. Monitoring will be phased: schools must achieve at least 75% compliance by 2026 and 100% by 2027.
To ease compliance, teachers without an education degree but with at least 12 months of classroom teaching experience are encouraged to enroll in the National Teachers Institute (NTI), which offers a short professional certification programme lasting three to six months, making them eligible for TRCN registration.
Alausa stressed the importance of sensitising all stakeholders to avoid disruptions in the accreditation process for public examinations.
