Views: Visits 2 The fate of hundreds of teachers in Police primary and secondary schools across the country is currently hanging in the balance, following the uncertainty over the implementation of Federal Government’s new retirement age for teachers. In a review of the retirement policy for teachers, the FG last year announced the extension of their retirement age from 60 to 65 years or 40 years in service effective from January 2021. As a follow up to the announcement, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Arc. Sonny Ochono, in a circular dated January 26, 2021, directed all directors, heads of units, principals of federal unity colleges and state coordinators of Federal Education Quality Assurance Services, FEQAS, to comply with the new policy on the condition that those concerned must possess relevant professional certificates and be physically fit.
