Kano State Executive Council has endorsed proposals for review and harmonisation of retirement age for teachers effective January 2022 with a committee to draft the documents for actualisation of the exercise.

The statement explained that the exercise would require an increase in salaries and other emoluments of teachers not provided for in the 2021 budget.

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.

Garba also said the committee was mandated to constitute the necessary cause for action, towards the implementation of the initiative to boost the education sector in the state.

According to him, the committee will also review the scheme and condition of service of teachers to accommodate the new Kano 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.
