The Nigerian Federal Government has introduced a six-month Accelerated Teacher Professionalisation Pathway enabling non-education graduates to obtain professional teacher certification. According to Punch, holders of BSc, HND, and ND qualifications can apply for the programme, which is designed to provide a route into the teaching profession for those whose degrees were not in education.

Nigeria's Federal Government is planning to implement a new competency-based digital curriculum for teacher training, with the goal of producing educators who are digitally skilled and competitive on a global scale.

Education stakeholders in West Nile, Uganda, have called on the government to reinstate training programs for new teachers while also upgrading current educators. They warn that the discontinuation of Primary Teachers’ Colleges (PTCs) and National Teachers’ Colleges (NTCs) has led to an increasing shortage of teachers in the region, according to a statement from Prof. Epiphany Odubuker Picho, the former Chairperson of the relevant educational body.

Angela Ajala, the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), announced plans to implement a competency-based digital curriculum in Nigeria's colleges of education. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of teacher education and develop a new generation of teachers equipped with digital skills to compete globally.

The Federal Government has launched phase two of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme aimed at enhancing skills for young Nigerians. This initiative is designed to boost employability and promote economic empowerment among participants, who will also receive a monthly stipend.

Abel Ibidapo, a Professor of Technical Education at the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology (BOUESTI), has emphasized the need for a significant transformation in Nigeria's education system. He argues that practical skills acquisition should be prioritized over merely obtaining certificates to effectively drive the country's economy, according to Tribune Online.
