More than 12,000 unemployed graduates, including those with physical challenges, have submitted their applications for the recently announced teaching positions in public secondary schools in Ekiti State.

This is coming as majority of those that sat for employment as primary school teachers two months ago are still waiting for their letters of appointment, while those that fall within first batch, have received their letters.

Apart from receiving letters, they have also attended seminar to prepare them for the job, but they may not resume untill the next school session commences in September.

He further revealed that the government plans to recruit 500 candidates who have successfully passed the examination.

Omolayo disclosed in Ado Ekiti that “the qualifying examination would be followed by two other stages of oral interview and micro teaching for successful candidates for the purpose of promoting merit and ability over mediocrity.

“The commission is poised to engage the best hands for the jobs among the teeming unemployed graduates.

“Teachers who are prepared to offer their best for the development of education in Ekiti State would be engaged for various subjects in the sciences, commercial/vocational, arts and social sciences at the conclusion of the recruitment processes.”
