TESCOM - NO fewer than 110, 181
applicants are jostling for 2000 vacancies
in the Ondo State Teaching Service
Commission (TESCOM) in the on-going
recruitment exercise being carried out by
the state government, sources within the commission disclosed to The Guardian
yesterday. Two weeks ago, the state government
through the commission commenced the
process of filling the vacancies which had
gone to such an unbearable level that
most of the public secondary schools in
the state are facing acute shortage of personnel. According to the Chairman of the
commission, Dr. Bakkita Bello, the
commission got the approval of Governor
Olusegun Mimiko to recruit 2000
personnel made up of 1500 university-
trained teachers, 200 holders of National Certificate of Education (NCE) and 300
non-teaching staff. Giving a breakdown of the number of
applicants who applied through the
internet portal of the commission, a
source said 76,895 applied for teaching
jobs while 33,286 applied for non-
teaching even as it was disclosed that core subjects would get priority in the
exercise. The applicants who were made to supply
information, particularly on their states
and local government origins with letters
of attestation from known community
leaders, are expected to write a written
test after being shortlisted. Earlier on, the TESCOM boss had told The
Guardian that the recruitment exercise
was part of the efforts of the state
government to reposition its teaching
force to deliver maximally in the
education of students of the state public secondary schools. He pointed to other areas of government
intervention to include prompt e-
payment of salaries of teachers "even
before the governor got his own",
payment of special allowances for
teachers in difficult and rural terrains, regular payment of leave bonuses and
other allowances, regular annual
promotions "involving as much as 4,000
at a time" and encouragement of
improvement through in-service training,
study leave and others. Bello, a former Speaker of the State
House of Assembly also disclosed that the
state government also appoints teachers
into political positions such as
Commissioners and Tutors-General which
is equivalent to the position of Permanent Secretary and that recently
5,000 plots of lands were allocated to
them to encourage people to take up
teaching profession. He however debunked the rumour from
the opposition that the government was
using the recruitment exercise to make
money saying "the whole process is free
and the commission is not taking any
money from any applicant. That is why we had to stop the demand for letters of
attestation from community leaders
because we discovered that applicants
are being made to pay for the letters in
some areas."
