According to the Education Ministry, some teachers came with fake appointment letters and academic transcripts.

The Commissioner in charge of Teacher Education and instruction, Dr Egau Okou Jane said all teachers with forged documents are not accepted to teach in any school whatsoever.

By using our teacher management system, it’s helping us to fish out many unqualified teachers. So far more than 30,000 affected teachers across the country have been disqualified.
