THE Kano State Government has discovered 3,268 teachers that are on its payroll but posted to private, voluntary and community schools in the state.
The Public Relations Officer in the Ministry of Education, Aliyu Yusuf, disclosed this to The PUNCH in Kano on Tuesday.
He said the committee set up by the Ministry of Education to recall teachers that were illegally posted to such schools discovered the fraudulent arrangement.
According to him, the committee also uncovered a single private school with more than 50 teachers posted from government schools for more than 10 years.
“In addition, some of them have furthered their studies for higher degrees ranging from M. Sc and PhD. It was also discovered that while on such postings, the teachers were enjoying their consistent promotions up to directorate cadre,” he said.
