Lagos records 80% pass rate as TRCN releases first batch of 2025 PQE results

The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) has released the results of the recently conducted 2025 Batch A Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE).

The first batch of TRCN’s 2025 PQE took place from May 15 to 17, 2025, nationwide.

Ronke Soyombo, the registrar/chief executive, announced the release of results on Wednesday.

She said a total of 13,782 candidates registered for the examination, with 12,874 (93.4 per cent) participating in the exam and 908 (6.6 per cent) absent.

The results showed that 8,705 candidates (67.62 per cent) passed, while 4,169 (32.38 per cent) failed.

Notably, Lagos emerged as the leading state with an impressive pass rate of 80 per cent, followed by Edo State at 73.3 per cent and Niger State at 69.2 per cent, while the FCT ranked fourth at 68.3 per cent.

Soyombo said the examination encountered some challenges, including low digital skills among some teachers, which affected their performance.

To address these challenges, Soyombo said the TRCN is working towards offering digital literacy training for teachers, a curriculum guide, and past questions online.

She said all candidates who participated in the examination can check the status of their results online (at www.fron.gov.ng or www.trcnigeria.ng) or visit any of our TRCN state or liaison offices.

Soyombo said successful candidates can proceed with processing their certificates and licenses.

“Note that the validity of the examination results for certification is one year from the date of this publication,” she said.
