One of the specific requests made by teachers in Kwara State is the adoption of the 65/40 years employment template, which is currently being used in several other states across Nigeria, including Osun, Adamawa, Zamfara, Kano, Anambra, Ondo, Kogi, Yobe, Kebbi, Akwa-Ibom, Ebonyi, Delta, among others. Under this template, the retirement age for teachers is extended to 65 years, while the length of service is capped at 40 years. This adjustment provides teachers with the opportunity to continue their careers for a longer period, thereby addressing the issue of understaffing in schools. It also allows for the retention of experienced and skilled educators in the system, ultimately benefiting students and the quality of education.
