Ekiti State Teachers Recruitment Portal 2025/2026 guide will help you to know the full recruitment process, explaining the hiring criteria and the steps to apply as well.
The Ekiti State Teachers Recruitment is for graduates who are done with their studies and ready to work. But it’s not for any graduate—it’s for those who studied education or related fields and are willing to teach in public schools across Ekiti State. NCE holders and those with teaching experience are also included, even if they studied something else, as long as they have genuine interest in teaching.
What makes the Ekiti recruitment different is that the government is looking for people who are not only educated but also disciplined, well-mannered and ready to serve with a sense of duty. The state values character just as much as qualifications. They also place teachers in rural schools that need help the most. This shows they are not just hiring teachers—they are building a workforce that can truly uplift education across all corners of the state.

Ekiti State Teachers Recruitment FAQs
Are non-teaching roles included in this recruitment?
Yes, the Ekiti State Teachers Recruitment exercise does include some non-teaching positions, although the main focus is on filling classroom teaching positions in primary and secondary schools. Non-teaching roles may include administrative officers, laboratory assistants, guidance counselors, and librarians depending on the needs of the Ministry of Education at the time of recruitment. However, these roles are usually fewer in number and may require specific qualifications or experience related to the job. Applicants interested in non-teaching positions should carefully review the job categories on the recruitment portal before applying.
What is the format of the test, if any?
Applicants who meet the basic requirements will usually undergo a Computer-Based Test (CBT) as part of the process. The test format is usually multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to test a candidate’s knowledge in core subjects, general knowledge, English language and pedagogical reasoning. For subject teachers, questions may also include discipline-specific content to test depth of knowledge in the subject area. The test duration is usually 45 minutes to 1 hour. Candidates should have basic knowledge of ICT since the test is online and familiarity with computer-based testing platform is highly recommended.
Will the recruitment consider teaching methodology training?
Yes, the recruitment places a lot of emphasis on teaching methodology and candidates who can show evidence of effective classroom strategies will have an added advantage. Although the recruitment itself is not a training program, candidates are often assessed on pedagogical skills during the written test and oral interview. In some cases, shortlisting may favour those who have undergone formal or informal training in teaching methods, classroom management, learner engagement and lesson planning. After successful recruitment, teachers may be enrolled in a post deployment induction or capacity building workshop where advanced teaching methods will be introduced to align with the state’s educational goals.
Can I apply without a professional certification in teaching?
Yes, you can apply for Ekiti State Teachers Recruitment even if you don’t have a professional teaching certification like TRCN (Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria) license. However, certified teachers are usually given preference during the selection process. If you are applying without certification, you must have at least a degree in education or a degree in a related field along with Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE). Non-certified candidates who are recruited may be expected to obtain their professional certification within a specified time after employment. The state government encourages all newly employed teachers to regularize their teaching status through appropriate channels.
Is uploading a CV necessary on the portal?
Yes, uploading a CV is required when submitting application through the official recruitment portal. The CV is a summary of your academic background, teaching experience, relevant skills and any certification or professional training you may have completed. It gives the recruitment panel a holistic view of your suitability for the teaching or non-teaching position you’re applying for. When preparing your CV, ensure it’s updated, well structured and includes key information such as your contact details, educational qualifications, employment history and any relevant volunteer work or workshop attended. Incomplete or poorly formatted CVs may reduce your chances of being shortlisted.
