El-Rufai approves Level 17 for teachers

Kaduna State government has approved career enhancement for teachers to rise to Grade Level 17.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai said his administration would build six science secondary schools.

Commissioner for Education Dr. Shehu Usman Adamu said the approval of teachers' career progression followed a promise by Governor El-Rufai to ensure that they rise to the highest grade without stopping teaching.

He said teachers who rise to Grade Level 17 will be addressed as director-tutors, adding that such teachers will be made to use their knowledge and experience to teach specific subjects.
