Over 260 Nigerian teachers migrate to Canada in 2022 -- TRCN


By Editor



The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Prof. Josiah Ajiboye, has disclosed that over 260 Nigerians have migrated to Canada to teach in within the ongoing year.

This was as he said the United Nations has hinted of its intention to sack some teachers and rather embark on mass recruitment of teachers from Nigeria.

Prof. Ajiboye, who spoke at a One-day retreat on the state of education in Nigeria, bemoaned the berating of Nigerian education system by Nigerians.

According to him, in spite of the perceived crisis in the nation's education sector, Nigeria has fared well in terms of education standards, a development he said, has made some foreign nations to engage Nigerians for teaching service.

Ajiboye, who was the chairman of the event,said, "When you say medical doctors are going outside the country, I wish to let you know that they are not alone. Teachers are going outside the country too.Even this year alone, I have signed letter of professional standing for over 260 Nigerians going to teach in Canada alone.

"Nigeria education is among one of the best in the world as at today if not,why are Nigerian professionals going outside the country. You see thousands of Nigerians everywhere you go, Nigerian graduates are well sort out for . 

"Even as at today, if you look at the quality of our graduates, they are people that can compete with other people all over the world. People will always tell you the standard is falling but who is setting the standards".


"As at this morning, we have letter from the UK from head of their teaching council, she sent a message for letter of professional standing because they want to start to take Nigerian teachers massively. 

"If any body is telling you are are not doing well, let us sit down, though we have our challenges but in all these situations, we still have the best coming out of these.

"Yes, we have our challenges, there is no issue about that. People will raise the issue of ASUU  strike,they will raise the issue of out-of- school children and all that but in all these,we still have the best coming out."
