Man (Buhari) without certificate stands with El-Rufai.
Kaduna State Teachers Saga: pot calling kettle black.
I'm appalled with Buhari's assertion over Kaduna State education saga. How ironic that a man whose educational qualification and certificate is still firmly shrouded in secrecy is casting aspersions on Kaduna State teachers?
But again, in all fairness; his assertions are in order except that one cannot help but a bit bother over such statement coming from a man who budgeted N61Billion for Education in 2018 Appropriation Bill. The big question is; how would Nigeria educational system competite with the best in the world as he asserted to his supporters with such meagre budget for education?
For more of Buhari's perfidy with education and stand with El-Rufai please read:
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday threw his weight behind Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s decision to sack 22,000 teachers in Kaduna State who failed competency test and recruit 25,000 new ones.
El-Rufai had vowed that threats of industrial action by the state chapter of the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) would not deter his government.
Digressing from his speech after addressing participants at a special retreat of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on the challenges facing the education sector in Nigeria, which held at the Banquet Hall, Abuja, Buhari who gave the tacit support to El-Rufai, described the development as “a serious situation.”
If nothing else, the presidential endorsement will embolden Governor El-Rufai whose decision last week to sack almost the entire teachers in public schools in Kaduna State has attracted criticism from around the country.
Buhari said his administration was committed to revitalising the education system and making it more responsive and globally competitive.
“It is a very serious situation, when teachers cannot pass the exams that they are supposed to teach the children to pass. It is a very tragic situation we are in.
“For nine years, I was in boarding school, three in primary and six in secondary school. In those days, teachers treated students or children like their own children. If you did well, they would tell you that you did well. If you didn’t do well, they never spared the rod.
