In a bid to strengthen the education sector and bridge staffing shortages in schools, particularly within underserved communities, the government plans to recruit 7,000 teachers nationwide.
The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, announced this during a media briefing held on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
The minister stated that the application process will commence on April 10, 2026, with the opening of the recruitment portal to eligible applicants.
He noted that the recruitment exercise will target graduates from the 2023, 2024, and 2025 cohorts.
“I am happy to note and announce that the Ministry of Education has received clearance and approval from the Ministry of Finance for the recruitment of teachers across the country. We will be recruiting at least 7,000 teachers. We want the process to be open, transparent, and competitive.
“Therefore, graduates from the 2023, 2024, and 2025 cohorts may apply for placement as teachers across the country. Priority will be given to those who are ready and willing to serve in those deprived and safe areas.”
