At the LEA Primary School in Kawo where pupils recently gathered to protest the sack of their teachers, the staff stood outside, while the classrooms were under locks. There were no signs of resumption at Sabongari Primary School and Maiduguri Road LEA Primary school situated within the Kaduna metropolis.The crisis started when governor El-Rufai received a joint delegation of the World Bank and DFID at the Government House and told them that 21,780 out of 33,000 primary school teachers failed primary four exams. SUBEB was given the responsibility of setting questions and administering the test to teachers across the state. The test was done in conjunction with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), while the leadership of NUT supervised the exams. They therefore gave the state government two weeks to cancel the planned dismissal of teachers, or they will embark on an indefinite strike.
