PLANE, TRCN unveil professional standards for school leadership
The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) has launched its newly developed Professional Standards for School Leadership in Nigeria for Basic and Secondary Education.
The Professional Standard for School Leadership in Nigeria is a comprehensive framework and reference document designed to enhance the quality and effectiveness of school leadership across the country.
It was developed and published by TRCN with the support of the British Council and the UK-funded Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE) programme.
According to TRCN, the development of the standards is a significant step towards improving the quality of education in Nigeria by ensuring that school leaders are well-equipped to meet the demands of modern education environments.
The document specifies the key role school leaders play in leading and managing schools, in line with government’s policy, to provide a high-quality education that will meet the needs of all Nigerian children and young people.
Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman emphasised the importance of providing teachers with an appropriate environment to drive the education system.
He noted that teachers are crucial in laying the foundational blocks that shape children’s futures.
