The launch of the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) online portal has been hailed as a watershed moment for the West African country's education system.
The portal's introduction aligns the local education sector with increasing global technological trends and aims to empower educators.
The Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, presided over the portal's launch on Tuesday.
“It is more than technology. It is a commitment to recognise, empower and support Nigerian teachers. This reform restores dignity to the profession and builds a globally competitive education system.”
Alausa went on to note that the portal was consistent with the government's strategic goal for local teachers, which was built on the pillars of accountability, digitalisation, equity, global alignment, and professionalisation.
“Teachers are the true architects of the future. We will safeguard classrooms with integrity,” Alausa added.
TRCN was established in 1993 and is Nigeria's primary regulatory authority for the teaching profession.
With the launch of its portal, teachers may now register, verify results, and print certificates online. The simplification of assessments and lesson plans is expected to align Nigeria with global standards.
