The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN has raised an alarm over the shrinking number of teachers available to impart knowledge within Nigeria and by extension the global community.
A high-level panel on the teaching profession, set up by the United Nations revealed this in its report released in 2024.
This development has also been worsened by teachers leaving Nigeria en mass for greener pastures abroad due to dwindling fortunes in the profession
Acting Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of TRCN, Dr Stella-Maria Nwokeocha confirmed the crisis on Monday, saying the situation is necessitating the 4th Annual Online Conference of Registered Teachers in Nigeria
