The Federal Government has unveiled a new digital portal to simplify teachers’ registration, certification, and professional development as part of ongoing reforms to strengthen Nigeria’s education sector.
Speaking during the official launch of the platform and the Strategic Vision for Nigerian Teachers in Abuja on Monday, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, said the initiative is designed to reposition the teaching profession and improve the quality of education delivery across the country.
According to him, the portal—developed by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN)—will serve as a one-stop solution for teachers, providing seamless access to registration, licensing, and renewal services nationwide.
“The teaching profession is central to the future of our children and the development of our nation. By introducing this platform, we are ensuring that teachers across Nigeria can access professional services more easily, while also promoting accountability and standards in the education system,” Alausa said.
He added that the platform will also provide opportunities for continuous professional development, giving teachers access to resources, training, and support needed to adapt to evolving global education standards.
Registrar of TRCN, Prof. Josiah Olusegun Ajiboye, who also spoke at the event, described the portal as a significant milestone in the council’s drive to digitalize teacher management in Nigeria. He stressed that the platform will not only reduce bottlenecks in the registration process but also enhance data collection and policy planning for the sector.
Stakeholders at the event welcomed the development, noting that it will boost professionalism, motivate teachers, and foster a culture of lifelong learning.
The Federal Government reiterated its commitment to implementing reforms that will strengthen the education system, with teachers at the heart of the transformation agenda.
