Sule said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos on Monday.

He noted that the move would also encourage young people to have passion and venture into the teaching profession.

He said that the teaching profession had over time been less priced, less attractive and not valued by many, owing to poor remuneration for teachers in the country.

Sule said that the new welfare package would change the narrative.

He explained that the move would also enhance the quality of teaching and learning, as teachers would put in their best in carrying out their duties.

“Teachers in this country have been less priced, devalued and the profession as whole is less attractive because of poor remuneration.

“People, particularly the younger ones, come into the profession by accident because they feel is not encouraging.

“I have been in the university system, where young people only study education courses by chance. They come to the Faculty of Education because other departments couldn’t offer them admission.

“With this new package in the offing, it is likely to make the profession attractive and also encourage young people to go into it with passion.

“It will also improve the quality of teaching and learning in our schools,” he said.

Sule, however, urged teachers in the country to reciprocate the gesture and advised them to work hard and ensure quality was achieved in the education system.

NAN reports that President Muhammadu Buhari recently announced a special salary scale for teachers in the country and also increased their years of service from 35 to 40 years.
