The Oyo State Post Primary School Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM has fixed Monday, July 29 – August 2, 2024, for computer-based test (CBT) for applicants in the ongoing recruitment exercise for teaching and non-teaching staff of secondary schools.
The Chairman, TESCOM, Pastor Akinade Alamu, stated this in Ibadan today, during a press conference.
He said a total of 62, 000 applicants scaled the application exercise to take part in the computer-based tests for the available positions.
Pastor Alamu said 12,000 applicants put in for non-teaching service, while 50,000 applicants applied for teaching service, under TESCOM.
The Chairman said the Commission is executing the recruitment exercise in conjunction with relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Establishment; Office of the Head of Service; and Ministry of Finance.
Pastor Alamu reiterated the Commission’s commitment to a credible exercise, adding that “no applicant should rely on hear-says.”described
Pastor Akamu said specific date and time for individual applicants can already be accessed by applicants through their portals.
He described Governor Seyi Makinde as a lover of Education, who saw the vacuum in secondary schools as one that must be filled, despite its recruitment exercise about four years ago.
He added that the venue for the exam is University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre, Computer Based Testing Centre, Ajibode, Ibadan.
Alamu instructed all applicants to print copies of their CBT examination schedule and their application print-out, bearing their passports, from the job portal.
According to him, “The Commission has approved that the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre, Computer Based testing centre, should conduct the computer-based tests for the applicants because of its pedigree in such exercise.”
The Chairman said the two print-outs will admit applicants into the CBT examination hall.
He maintained that applicants must adhere strictly to the time and date, sent to them, as loitering around the centre will not be condoned.
The Chairman added that successful candidates from the computer-based tests will be required to appear for oral interview.
Meanwhile, Pastor Alamu said the Commission has made arrangements for applicants, by providing necessities such as tents, chairs, ambulance service and security.
