More than 9,000 graduates in Jigawa State have sat for a Computer-Based Test as part of the recruitment process for 500 teaching positions under the J-Tsangaya programme.
The examination was conducted to select qualified candidates for the state’s initiative aimed at strengthening Tsangaya and integrated schools. Officials said the large turnout reflects the high level of interest in education-related employment in the state.
According to the Jigawa State government, the J-Tsangaya programme is designed to improve teaching standards and expand access to quality education, particularly in Islamic and basic education schools. The 500 vacancies are expected to be filled by the top-performing applicants from the CBT.
Authorities noted that the use of computer-based testing was to ensure transparency, fairness, and merit in the selection process. Candidates were assessed on subject knowledge, teaching aptitude, and general competence.
The state government added that successful candidates will be deployed to schools across Jigawa to support ongoing reforms in the education sector. Results are expected to be released in due course, after which successful applicants will proceed to the next stage of the recruitment.
