Invest In Basic Education, TETFund Boss Tells Taraba Governor ‎


The executive secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Prof Suleiman Bogoro, has advised the Taraba State governor, Darius Ishaku to invest more in basic education.
Bogoro, who gave the advice when Ishaku paid him a courtesy visit over the weekend in Abuja, said Taraba was one of the most active states in terms of TETFund intervention projects.
According to him, TETFund has not neglected any of the tertiary institutions in Taraba.
“We will be happy that courtesy of our intervention in tertiary education, you will be able to save money for basic education – primary and secondary.
“There are larger numbers of beneficiaries at that level; if you succeed in doing this, we would have seen ourselves as veritable partners in the rescue train in Taraba.’’
Earlier, Ishaku thanked TETFund for its numerous interventions in tertiary institutions in Taraba as there were lots of TETFund projects in Taraba.
He said that the state specifically needed more intervention in its College of Education as it needed more teachers.
He added, “We need more trained teachers and we are here to solicit TETFund’s intervention in that regard.
“I will want TETFund to concentrate more on teacher education because we lack teachers and we are backward educationally.
“So, if TETFund can do more on our College of Education, it will give us more qualitative teachers.’’
He said he was committed to rescuing the state from being an educationally backward state‎.

Taraba Begins ₦5,000 Deduction for Teachers’ Permanent Identity Cards

The Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board (TSUBEB) has initiated a ₦5,000 deduction from teachers as part of arrangements for the production of Permanent Identity Cards for teachers across the state. According to UBEC, the identity cards are expected to strengthen staff records, improve security and enhance administrative efficiency in the management of teachers across Taraba State. UBEC further said the Permanent Identity Card project is also expected to assist the state government in developing an accurate and verifiable database of teachers. Such a database will provide Governor Agbu Kefas with reliable information on personnel within the basic education system and support more effective planning, monitoring and personnel management. The initiative is therefore expected to strengthen security measures, improve staff verification and provide a more efficient system for managing personnel across Taraba State’s basic education sector.
