16,000 teachers needed in Lagos schools – NUT


16,000 teachers needed in Lagos schools – NUT
The Lagos State wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) on Friday said about 16,000 teachers are needed to adequately cater for government-owned primary and secondary schools in the state.

The state chairman of NUT, Mr. Segun Raheem, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Lagos that 9,000 teachers would be needed in the primary schools and 7,000 in secondary schools.
Raheem said the situation in the schools is pathetic as the 1,300 teachers recently recruited could not cover the huge shortage of teachers experienced in the schools.

“Thousands of teachers have retired from June 2015, to date. Lack of teachers in our schools is now becoming a major issue.
“A teacher taking two to three classes with about 60 to 90 students in each class is not professional,’’ he said.

In a statement on Monday, Samsung said customers who trade in their Note 7 phone for either a flat-screen or curved-screen version of the Galaxy S7 can trade up for a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 smartphone launching next year through an upgrade programme. The news seemingly confirms that Samsung will be continuing the Note line despite the disaster of the Note 7, which was permanently discontinued earlier this month. According to Reuters, Note 7 owners in Korea will only have to pay half the price of a Galaxy S7 to get their hands on a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 next year. When Samsung was asked if the sa...
