The Academic Staff Union Of Secondary Schools has lamented over the shortage of Teachers in Kogi State.
The State ASUSS Chairman Comrade Ranti Ojo said this on Tuesday during the 2021 International Teachers Day in Lokoja.
Ojo said that their union is pained and disillusioned over the precarious circumstance they found themselves in.
He explained that the problem of shortage of teachers has attained a pandemic status as a result of the fallout of the various screening exercise conducted by the Governor Yahaya Bello-led administration, which led to the exit of teachers from classrooms due to massive compulsory retirement inflicted on them.
The ASUSS chairman reminded the government that playing politics with education is tantamount to playing politics with the future of students and children, in Kogi State stressing that “this will on the long run have a grave consequence on the society as what goes around surely must come around.”
Continuing, Ojo said “we will be failing ourselves as a union, failing our beloved students in particular and the society in general, if we shy away from presenting the challenge of abysmal shortage of teachers in our schools as it is. For more than a decade ago our union has been decrying the colossal shortage of teachers in our secondary schools.”
