The National Executive Council of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, has directed its members in Kaduna State not to participate in the competency test organized by the state government.
The Deputy National President of the union, Kelvin Nwankwo, issued the directive on Wednesday, during a meeting with teachers in the state.
Nwankwo stated that the union issued the directive following plans by the State Government to conduct competency tests for public primary school teachers in December.
Recall, that the State Universal Basic Education Board had in July announced plans to conduct competency tests for primary school teachers to ensure quality teaching.
