According to the council’s Director of Certification and Licensing, Dr. Jacinta Ezeahurukwe, 13,782 candidates registered for the examination, but only 12,874 participated, representing a 93.4% participation rate.
The results showed that 8,705 candidates, representing 67.62%, passed the examination, while 4,169 candidates, representing 32.38%, failed.
Dr Ezeahurukwe attributed part of the challenges encountered during the exam to the low digital literacy of some teachers, which adversely affected their performance.
Lagos State led with an impressive pass rate of 80 per cent followed by Edo State with 73.3 per cent, Niger State with 69.2 per cent, and the Federal Capital Territory with 68.3 per cent.
The council is planning initiatives to boost digital skills among educators, including online digital literacy training, curriculum guides, and access to past questions.
The council urged all candidates to check their results online via www.fron.gov.ng or www.
Successful candidates are advised to proceed with processing their certificates and licenses, while those who did not pass are encouraged to enhance their digital and pedagogical competencies and prepare for the next batch of the examination scheduled for November.
