Kano govt to review retirement age of teachers
Kano State Executive Council has approved the plans for review and harmonisation of retirement age for teachers effective January 2022, with a committee to draft the documents for actualisation of the exercise.
Muhammed Garba, the state Commissioner for Information, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
He explained that the exercise would require an increase in salaries and other emoluments of teachers not provided for in the 2021 budget.
According to him, the committee will also review the scheme and condition of service of teachers to accommodate the new retirement age.
With the new proposal, teachers’ retirement age will increase from 35 service years and 60 years of age, to 40 years of service and 65 years of age respectively.
It added that in spite of not being provided for in the budget, there was a need to allow the commencement of the new policy to be effective from last month.
Mr Garba also said the committee was mandated to constitute the necessary cause for action, towards implementation of the initiative to boost the education sector in the state.
