The dual mandate policy empowers colleges of education to award both the Nigeria certificate in education and university degrees, according to Angela Ajala, the executive secretary of the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE).
Ajala disclosed this on Friday during a media parley at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja themed ‘A New Dawn for Teacher Education in Nigeria’ where she emphasised that the policy will help reduce pressure on university admissions across Nigeria.
The executive secretary explained that the reform is designed to expand access to higher education, reduce overcrowding in universities, and strengthen teacher training in the country.adsads
“The policy will expand access to higher education; reduce pressure on universities; strengthen teacher specialisation; improve institutional autonomy; and attract more candidates into teaching,” she said.
