Kaduna Teachers Earn 27% Higher Than Other Civil Servants – Official
Teachers in Kaduna State now earn higher than other civil servants in the state, the Chairman of the state Teachers Service Board, Mr Adamu Makade, has said.
The workshop was on ‘Teachers Issues in Conflict and Protracted Crisis Settings: Documenting the Effectiveness of the Kaduna Teacher Reforms in Kaduna State’.
According to him, the disparity was as a result of the reform of the education sector which identified welfare of teachers as key to qualitative education.
The chairman explainec that the reform focused on the recruitment, deployment, and retention of teachers.
Makade added that so far, government has ensured the retention of competent and qualified teachers by providing them with incentives, including special allowances that are higher than those for other civil servants.
“For instance, if you are a teacher on a particular salary grade level and step, compared to your colleague, who is not a teacher but in the same grade level and step, you will discover that teachers earn about 27% higher than other civil servants,” he said.
