President Buhari reacts to the woeful performance of Kaduna teachers in the test organized by the state government

President Buhari has described as tragic the events in Kaduna state where primary school teachers failed woefully the primary 4 questions set for them during a competency test organized by the state government last month.

Over 21,000 teachers failed the test and would be dismissed from the service.

While speaking at a special retreat of the Federal Executive Council on the challenges facing the Education sector in Nigeria, President Buhari said what Governor El-Rufai is doing is to rid Education in the state of rot and decay.

”It is a very serious situation when teachers cannot pass their exams. They are supposed to teach the children to pass, it is a very tragic situation we are in and this gathering together to me is the most important in this administration.” he said
