In May 2025, the Ogun State Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology announced a mop-up test for applicants who missed the initial Computer-Based Test (CBT) for teaching positions in public primary, secondary schools, and technical colleges. This initiative aimed to fill existing vacancies and ensure that all qualified candidates had an opportunity to participate in the recruitment process.
Background of the Ogun State Ministry of Education Mop-up Test
The Ogun State government, under the Ogun State Teaching Experience Acquisition Channel (Ogun TEACh) program, sought to recruit new teachers to enhance the quality of education across the state. The recruitment process was a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology, the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), and the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB). The initial CBT was conducted to assess the competencies of applicants. However, recognizing that some candidates missed this test, the government scheduled a mop-up test to accommodate them.
Mop-Up Test Details
The mop-up test was scheduled for Monday, May 17, 2025, at two venues:
- Egba/Yewa Centre: Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta
- Ijebu/Remo Centre: Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu-Ode
Applicants were advised to log on to the Ogun TEACh portal to identify their designated center and download their test slips. They were required to present these printout slips at the examination centers. Additionally, adherence to COVID-19 protocols, including wearing facemasks, was mandated to ensure the safety of all participants.
Eligibility Criteria
Prospective applicants were expected to hold a minimum of a National Certificate in Education (NCE) or a Bachelor’s degree in Education (B.A. (Ed)/B.Sc. (Ed)/B.Ed.) with at least a Second Class Lower division in relevant subjects. Candidates from other disciplines were required to possess a Post-Graduate Diploma in Education from reputable universities. For technical colleges, applicants were expected to hold a B.Sc. in Technical Education, B.Sc. in Engineering, B.Eng., or Higher National Diploma (HND) in engineering fields.
