Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has announced the immediate recruitment of 2,616 qualified teachers to tackle the wide teacher-to-pupil ratio in public primary schools across the state.

The governor also confirmed the absorption of 4,315 former Better Education Service Delivery for All (BESDA) volunteer teachers into the state civil service as permanent and pensionable workers. The BESDA programme, supported by the World Bank in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education, was created to increase access for out-of-school children, improve literacy levels in target states, and strengthen accountability in basic education. The initiative was discontinued during the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Speaking at the official presentation of appointment letters to the former BESDA teachers, Governor Yusuf reiterated his administration’s commitment to the state of emergency declared on education. He described education as the foundation for human development and said the government would continue to invest heavily in the sector to ensure that every child has access to quality learning.

“Today’s event is an unmistakable indication of our solid commitment to addressing challenges in the education sector. Since the inception of this government, we have worked tirelessly to ensure every school in Kano State is functional, conducive, and capable of providing quality education,” Yusuf said.

The governor further directed the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) to begin the recruitment process for the 2,616 new teachers without delay. According to him, the new teachers will help achieve and maintain the required teacher-to-pupil ratio across the state.

“I have also mandated the Ministry of Education and all its agencies to intensify monitoring and evaluation of our schools to guarantee quality service delivery, adequate maintenance of facilities, and proper utilisation of resources,” he added.

Governor Yusuf called on the newly employed teachers to see their work as a responsibility that goes beyond teaching, emphasizing the importance of building character, instilling values, and promoting ethical standards among pupils.

Kano State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Haruna Ali Makoda, commended the administration’s efforts, noting that the state’s impressive performance in the 2025 NECO SSCE results was proof of the positive impact of the government’s investment in education.

Also speaking, SUBEB Chairman, Alhaji Yusuf Kabir, urged the new teachers to justify the government’s trust by working together as a team and delivering quality education to the children of Kano State.
