The Kwara State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has selected 1,800 individuals for teaching positions in public secondary schools across the state.
In a statement released by Sam Onile, the Commission’s Chief Press Secretary, it was announced that the successful candidates emerged after a thorough three-month evaluation process, which included computer-based tests and interviews.
Of the selected candidates, 790 are designated for STEM subjects, 581 for core subjects, 370 for specialized areas, and 59 for technical subjects. These educators will be assigned to senior secondary schools in all 16 local government areas, based on a needs assessment carried out by the Commission.
Applicants who participated in the interview process are encouraged to visit the official portal to check their status. Those who made the cut will be required to undergo a mandatory drug screening, conducted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The screening will take place from Wednesday, April 9 to Saturday, April 12, 2025. Candidates from Baruten, Edu, Kaiama, and Patigi will be tested on the first day, followed by those from Ekiti, Ifelodun, Irepodun, and Isin on Thursday. Offa, Oke Ero, Oyun, and Moro will be tested on Friday, with candidates from Asa and the three Ilorin councils completing the process on Saturday.
To ensure transparency, NDLEA will send the test results directly to TESCOM to prevent any tampering.
In addition, all selected candidates will be required to sign a six-year bond, prohibiting them from requesting transfers. This is part of the effort to bolster education in rural areas. They will also need to submit medical reports from state hospitals, provide original academic credentials with photocopies, handwrite acceptance letters, and complete other documentation requirements.
