Kwara State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has invited 5,928 applicants for interviews in the ongoing senior school teachers’ recruitment exercise.
TESCOM Chairman Mallam Bello Taoheed said in a statement on Monday morning that the cutoff for Kwara State indigenes who applied to teach non-STEM subjects is 60% — except for candidates from Baruten, Isin, Oke Ero, and Patigi whose cutoff is generally pegged at 50% to harvest as many applicants as are required in the areas.
“The cutoff for all Kwara State indigenes who applied to teach STEM and STEM-related subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Computer, and Geography is 50%. This is to accommodate as many STEM subject teachers as are required to give our children across the three regions a good head-start in these core areas,” he said.
“However, all the 93 applicants from Kaiama Local Government Area are invited for the interview/screening exercise. This also applies to the (37) PWLDs who sat the CBT.
“The cutoff for all non-indigenes is 70% across all subject areas.”
The commission asked all the applicants to check the recruitment portal for their status, saying the interviews and screenings will hold between Tuesday February 25 and Saturday March 1, 2025 at the Kwara State University International Conference Centre and Kwara State Banquet Hall from 8a.m. prompt.
“The venue for the interviews and screenings fixed for Tuesday through Thursday is the KWASU International Conference Centre behind Ayoka Filling Centre, Sango, Ilorin, while the venue for Friday and Saturday will be the State Banquet Hall,”
The interview will take place from February 25th to March 1st 2025.
