The Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) under the Lagos state government (LASG), has embarked on a plan to recruit more teachers specializing in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, as well as to improve the teacher-to-student ratio in schools. 

To do this, the commission is actively collaborating with the six educational districts throughout the state to address the shortages created by teachers retiring due to age or years of service.  

The objective of this is to achieve at least one teacher for every 30 students, a goal towards which the state government is progressing.  

The Deputy Director of Public Affairs at TESCOM, KAYODE SUTTON conveyed this in Lagos .

He noted that the commission has maintained a targeted approach in hiring educators and under the current administration of the Lagos state government, significant efforts have been made to enhance the educational landscape by providing comprehensive training for teachers, thereby boosting their effectiveness in educating students.
