The committee said the online application portal was activated on Thursday, July 2 and will remain open until Thursday, July 16, 2026, with no exceptions granted for late submissions.
As reported by Daily Trust, this was contained in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Maryam Yahaya Shantali.
Who can apply for Zamfara teachers recruitment
To be eligible, candidates must be indigenes of Zamfara State, fall within the age bracket of 18 to 35 years, and hold the minimum approved teaching qualification recognised by the committee.
The committee stressed that the recruitment is particularly focused on deploying teachers to rural and underserved communities, where shortages have had the most significant impact on learning outcomes.
According to the statement, applicants who clear the automated online screening stage will advance to a Computer-Based Test (CBT) as the next step in the selection process.
Zamfara teachers' recruitment: Grounds for disqualification
The committee outlined several conditions that would result in automatic disqualification.
These include submitting more than one application, providing false or forged documents, failing to complete all required documentation, not meeting the stated qualifications, and declining a posting to a rural community once selected.
Officials urged all intending applicants to review the requirements carefully before submitting their applications.
The committee tied the exercise to Governor Dauda Lawal's broader agenda of raising the quality of basic education in Zamfara State through the engagement of properly qualified teaching staff.
