Rivers State Teachers Recruitment FAQs
Will special education teachers get different training?
Yes, special education teachers will get different training. They work with children who need extra help with learning. These children might have problems with seeing, hearing, speaking or understanding. So, the teachers who teach them need to learn special ways to help them learn better. The training will teach them how to be patient, how to use special tools and how to talk to children in ways that make learning easier for them. The government want to make sure every child gets good education even if they learn in different way. That’s why special education teachers will learn things that will help them do their job well.
Will results of the test be published publicly?
No, the full list of test results will not be published. But, those who took the test will know their own scores. Sometimes, only the names of those who passed or got selected will be posted on a notice board or online but not the full marks. This is to protect everyone’s private information. So, if you take the test, you will know how to check your own result, either by SMS, email or on the official website. Don’t worry, you will know your result but not everyone will see your score. This way, things are kept fair and private.
Will family ties affect selection or placement?
No, having family members working in the government or in big positions will not help you get the job. The selection will be based on how well you do in the test and interview, not who you know. So even if your uncle works in the ministry, you still have to pass the test like everyone else. The government is trying to make the process fair so that only the people who truly qualify will be chosen. So even if you don’t know anybody important, you still have a good chance if you prepare well and do your best.
Are travel documents needed during screening?
No, travel documents like international passports are not needed for the screening. What you need to bring are your important school certificates, like your WAEC or NECO result, your teaching qualification, your birth certificate or age declaration, and maybe a government-issued ID card. You don’t need a visa or passport unless you got your education outside Nigeria. The screening is to check that the information you gave during the application is true. So just come with your real papers and make sure your names match on all documents.
Can someone with a pending court case apply?
If someone has a court case that is still going on, it might be a problem. The reason is because the government wants to hire people who don’t have legal troubles. If the case is something serious like stealing, fighting or fraud, it could stop you from getting the job. But if it’s a small case or something that has not been judged yet, they will look into it. You might still be allowed to apply, but they will check the details carefully. So it depends on the type of case and what stage it is at. Just be honest and explain your situation when asked. Lying or hiding it could cause more problems later.
