Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>As part of efforts to strengthen its regulatory powers, the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TCN, on Wednesday said it has approached the National Assembly for an amendment to the Act establishing the Council to change its name to Teachers Regulatory Council of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Registrar of TRCN, Prof Josiah Ajiboye, stated this in Abuja while speaking as Guest Lecturer at the 24th Annual Seminar of the Nigerian Academy of Education with the theme: \u201cProfessionalisation of Teaching in Nigeria, Past, Present and Future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ajiboye said although TRCN conducts registration of teachers, it performs other regulatory functions in terms of ensuring quality, monitoring and accreditation of programmes as well as providing training programmes for teachers.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of things we are looking forward to in the future is a change in the name of Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria to the Teacher Regulatory Council of Nigeria; it\u2019s the same TRCN. Actually, the idea behind that is that when you hear teachers\u2019 registration council, people normally think that the function of TRCN is limited to the registration of teachers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we say no; although we register the teachers, we perform other regulatory functions in terms of ensuring quality, monitoring and accreditation of programmes and things like that. And then training programmes for teachers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we do more of regulation than just registration of teachers. We are not limited to registering teachers only. It\u2019s the Teachers\u2019 Regulatory Council that would actually capture the essence of what we do at the level of TRCN. And that is why we are making that proposal to the House Committee on Basic Education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
