The Enugu State Government has approved the immediate recruitment of additional 700 teachers under the Enugu State Universal Basic Education (ENSUBEB) Scheme.

The Commissioner for Education, Prof. Uche Eze disclosed this on Wednesday in Enugu while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the state’s Executive Council Meeting.

Eze said that 42 primary school teachers of ENSUBEB lost their lives in active service during the outgoing year.

The commissioner, who did not state the cause of the deaths, also disclosed that 797 others would retire by Dec. 31.

He explained that the development had created a vacuum which needed to be filled.

Eze recalled that 1,320 teachers were employed in 2016, adding that after the forthcoming employment, there would be a redistribution of teachers across the state to ensure equity.
