Lagos State Teachers Recruitment FAQs
Do I need a teaching portfolio?
No, you don’t need to have a teaching portfolio to apply. A teaching portfolio is a folder or file where teachers keep records of their work, like lesson plans, certificates or student feedback. While it’s good to have one, it’s not required for this recruitment. If you have one, that’s great – it will show your experience. But if you don’t, you can still apply. What matters most is that you meet the basic requirements for the job.
Can I use a certificate from distance learning?
Yes, you can. A certificate you got through distance learning is okay as long as it’s from a school that is officially recognized (approved by the government or educational bodies). Distance learning means you studied from home or online without going to a regular school every day. Some people choose this method because it allows them to learn while working or taking care of their family. Just make sure your certificate is real and accepted by the right education authority. If your school is approved, your certificate will be accepted too.
Can retirees apply for contract roles in this recruitment?
Yes, retirees can apply. If you have retired from teaching or another job but still want to work, you are welcome to apply for a contract role. A contract role means you’ll be hired for a short time or for a special purpose, not as a permanent staff. Retirees usually have a lot of experience and that experience can be very useful, especially in teaching. As long as you are healthy, able to do the work and meet the requirements, your age or retired status won’t stop you from being considered.
Will preference be given to candidates from rural areas?
Yes, people from rural areas may be given some preference. This means they might have a slightly better chance if they meet all the requirements. Why? Because many rural areas do not have enough teachers. So, the government or recruiters may want to employ more people from those places so that schools in the villages can have more teachers. Also, people from those areas are more likely to stay and work there because it is their home. So, while everyone has a fair chance, being from a rural area can help you stand out.
Can I apply using only my NCE without a degree?
Yes, you can apply with just your NCE (National Certificate in Education). You don’t need a university degree to apply for this job. The NCE is a valid and accepted certificate for teaching, especially at the primary and junior secondary school levels. As long as you completed your NCE from a recognized college of education and you meet other job requirements, you are good to go. Many teachers in Nigeria work with just their NCE and do a great job. So don’t worry if you don’t have a degree—your NCE is enough for this recruitment.
