Education Minister, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has activated the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) digital portal and the strategic vision for Nigerian teachers, describing them as “milestones in transforming education and repositioning the profession.”
The digital portal provides online registration, licensing, renewals, and professional development while serving as a national teacher database.
The portal can be accessed at www.trcn.gov.ng, where teachers can register, update records, process licenses, check results, and print certificates remotely.
Dr. Alausa explained that the Strategic Vision is built on professionalization, digitalization, accountability, equity, and global alignment. He also introduced a Teacher Ethics and Criminal Record Verification Framework to safeguard classrooms, stressing that the measure is “protective, not punitive.”
Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, said the new system redefines professionalism and supports President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda by equipping teachers with essential digital tools.
TRCN Registrar, Dr. Ronke Soyombo, confirmed that the launch is part of her 100-day digitization plan, which includes streamlining the Professional Qualifying Examination into five core areas and introducing an AI-powered lesson plan generator.
Hon. Mohammed Isa highlighted the importance of inclusivity for persons with disabilities, ensuring no teacher is left behind in the reforms. International partners, including the British Council and the British High Commission, commended the initiative for promoting transparency and motivating the teaching workforce.
TeckPlus Digital Solutions CEO, Dr. Patrick Adeleye, stated that the portal addresses Nigeria’s long-standing teacher data gaps, describing it as a major step toward accurate record-keeping. The Ministry of Education reaffirmed its commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and professional standards, emphasizing that teachers remain central to national development.
