Motto Teaching for Excellence 7 TRCN Mandate The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) was established by Act 31, of 1993 (now CAP T3 of 2004) in fulfilment of the quest for the professionalization of teaching. Nigerian teachers had over the years clamored for the establishment of a regulatory Council of their own as obtained for all professional groups to regulate the practice of their profession. TRCN CAP T3 of 2004, Section 1(I) charged the Council with the following responsibilities: Determine who are teachers; Determine what standards of knowledge and skills are to be attained by persons seeking to become registered as teachers and raising the standards from time to time as the circumstances may permit; Securing in accordance with the provisions of the Act the establishment and maintenance of a register of teachers and the publication from time to time of the lists of those persons; Classifying from time to time members of the teaching profession according to their level of training and qualification; Performing through the Council established under this Act, the functions conferred on it by the Act. Implications of TRCN Mandates The Act, in section 17(2) provides that on coming into effect of the law, it becomes an offence for an individual to teach, pretend to teach, use the tag of a teacher or earn the reward of a teacher without being registered by TRCN. The Act, in section 7 and 8 empowers TRCN to accredit, supervise and monitor courses and programs of all teacher training institutions, which includes; Faculties and Institutes of Education of Nigerian Universities, Colleges of Education, Schools of Education in Polytechnics and the NTI. The law also empowers the Council to withdraw recognition from any of these institutions that fail to meet the standards set, and graduates of such institutions cannot be registered nor licensed and hence not qualified to practice. Section 9 of the Act provides for the establishment of Teachers Investigation Panel [TIP] in all the States of the Federation including the FCT and Teachers Disciplinary Committee [TDC] which is a Tribunal at the TRCN Headquarters. The TIP investigates and verifies allegations of breach of professional ethics by teachers and forward cases to TDC for trial and punishment. Sections 6, 13 and 1(i)(b) empower the Council to prescribe internship program, conduct qualifying examination to ascertain suitability of candidates before registration and set standards of knowledge and skill to be acquired and raise those standards from time to time through programs designed to continuously improve the quality of teachers in addition to mandatory professional development courses. 8 Our Core Values Internal Internal Core Values that pertain to the behavior of the staff: Democratic decision-making and management style that emphasizes consultation, dialogue and consensus; Respect for the right of all; Transparency and accountability; Originality, creativity and the pursuit of excellence and efficiency.
