But it was not all gloomy during the year as there were certain steps taken by the government towards restoring the sector’s lost glory.

Such measures had included the implementation of the 65-year-old retirement age for teachers, release of funds for university workers’ earned academic allowance and needs assessment funds, among others.

Though, towards the end of 2021, ASUU had threatened to resume its suspended industrial action, the whole of 2021 was largely free from the usual strike.Meanwhile, in a move to retain competent hands and reward dedication to work, the Nigerian government, in October, announced that Nigerian teachers in public schools will begin to enjoy a new salary structure and enjoy elongated service from 35 to 40 years.

Also to encourage more Nigerians to take up a career in teaching, the government plans to provide N75,000 allowance for every student of public universities studying education programmes per semester, and N50,000 for students of colleges of education per semester.
