In a bid to recruit the most competent individuals as headteachers, heads of ECCDE and ICT managers for the smart schools across Nigeria, UBEC invited the prospective candidates from 5 States to an interactive session with the DRC.
Each state nominated 4 candidates for each post and a team of panelists interacted with each of them to determine and select the most competent persons for the position based on established criteria. A total of 38 candidates from Anambra, Ekiti, Gombe, Kano, and Kwara States were in attendance.
It is gratifying to note that the selection process was very successful. However, it was worrisome that some of the prospective administrators and ICT managers showed very little ICT competency, therefore, they cannot effectively function in the model smart schools.
