Kwara State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has invited 5,928 applicants for interviews in the ongoing senior school teachers’ recruitment exercise.
A statement from TESCOM Chairman, Malam Taoheed Bello, yesterday in Ilorin, said the interview would hold between February 25 and March 1, at the Kwara State University International Conference Centre and Kwara Banquet Hall.
He says the cut-off mark for Kwara indigenes for non-STEM subjects is 60 per cent – except for candidates from Baruten, Isin, Oke Ero and Patigi, whose cut-off is generally pegged at 50 per cent.
“The reason for the difference in the cut-off is to harvest as many applicants as are required in the above listed areas.
“However, the cut-off for all Kwara indigenes who applied to teach STEM and STEM-related subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Computer and Geography is 50 per cent.
“This is to accommodate as many STEM subject teachers as are required to give our children across the three regions a good head-start in these core areas,” he said.
