Existing applicants have also used tarabasubeb.org to log in and check status, and ubec.gov.ng/taraba has separately been referenced as a SUBEB-specific application point; confirm which one is currently active before registering.

About SUBEB and TESCOM in Taraba

The Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board implements basic education policy for public primary schools in line with both federal and state guidelines, working alongside the Federal Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC). TESCOM handles teaching positions at the secondary level. This recruitment exercise has historically been framed as replacing retiring teachers and expanding the teaching workforce, aiming to ensure every classroom has adequate staffing as older teachers exit the system.

Taraba State, with its capital at Jalingo, spans a large and geographically diverse area in Nigeria’s northeast. Staffing schools consistently across its Local Government Areas, including more remote rural communities, has been a recurring focus of successive recruitment exercises, which is part of why willingness to accept any assigned posting is treated as a firm requirement rather than a preference.

Eligibility Requirements

• Nigerian citizenship, with a valid means of identification (National ID Card, Voter’s Card, or similar).
• A National Certificate of Education (NCE) has been described as mandatory for some cadres. At the same time, other listings have accepted a B.Sc, HND, or OND in an education-related field to confirm the specific requirement for your intended subject or role.
• Registration with the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN).
• Age requirements have varied by source, generally falling between 18 and 35 years, with one SUBEB-specific listing citing a narrower 25 to 35 range. Check the specific age range for your category.
• An NYSC certificate, where applicable.
• Willingness to be posted to any Local Government Area within Taraba State.
• Good teaching skills and a minimum of five credit passes in WASSCE, NECO, or NABTEB.

What Happens After You Apply

Only shortlisted candidates proceed to the next stage, which includes screening and a Computer-Based Test (CBT). Shortlists have historically been released and can be checked directly on the recruitment portal or through tarabasubeb.org, noting your screening date, batch, and time. Failure to report to your assigned screening center within the stipulated time has been treated as declining the offer, regardless of how strong your original application was, so check your registered contact details regularly once you’ve applied.

Salary Expectations

Reported salaries for SUBEB teaching staff have ranged from roughly ₦75,000 to ₦400,000 for senior positions, tied broadly to minimum wage structures rather than a single fixed figure. The Board itself has not officially confirmed this for the current cycle, so treat it as indicative rather than guaranteed.

No Payment Required

Taraba State teacher recruitment has been consistently and explicitly described as free of charge. Report anyone who demands money for a chance at being employed by Taraba SUBEB or TESCOM; being shortlisted is not a guarantee of final selection, and no legitimate step in this process requires payment.
