Kwara State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has released the application link for its teaching jobs.

This is contained in a statement issued in Ilorin on Tuesday by the commission’s Chairman, Mallam Bello Abubakar.

Abubakar said interested and qualified applicants could apply through the link https://tescom.kwarastate.gov.ng.

He said the portal would, however, go live at midnight (12.00 a.m.) on Wednesday and close on Feb. 14.

The chairman tasked applicants to carefully read through the portal for guidance on the process, adding they should read the press statement initially issued on the recruitment process.

He, however, said those without university degrees in relevant subject areas should not apply, just as NCE holders without university degrees should not also apply.

“Applicants who meet the first-layer recruitment criteria will be invited for a Computer-Based Test (CBT) at centres closest to their local government of residence.

“After the test, successful candidates will undergo drug tests at approved NDLEA centres among other verification exercises that will precede the issuance of employment letters.

“This process, for the record, will strongly balance between qualification, competence, employability, and availability to work in the hinterlands/rural areas, where we mostly require teachers,” Abubakar said. (NAN)
