Description
This Revised handbook serves as the definitive administrative and operational guide for the regulation, professionalization, and licensing of teachers across all tiers of the Nigerian educational system. Authorized under the foundational backing of the TRCN Act 31 of 1993, the manual outlines the Council's statutory mandates to elevate teaching standards, eliminate unqualified practitioners, and enforce rigorous professional accountability comparable to other established professions like law and medicine.
