National University Commission(NUC) recently clamped down a moratorium on admission of students into Part-Time(PT) programmes. Flurry of reactions as usual, has come from people some condemning and some praising the move. If you have come accross a PT school you will dance to the NUC tune if you really want education in Nigeria to move forward.
We cannot continue to sacrifice capability or accountability on the altar of sympathy if we must take our educational sector to the next level.
The proliferation of PT campuses is a worrisome one indeed. Imagine a student going through a school without knowing the location of his main campus! This is just a start. Admission is not checked as the management are only after population in other to make fast money. What about performance of graduates from such mushroom schools? Many oft them don’t honour lecture and only show in examination period a flagrant violation of attendant rules which says at least 75% attendance.
When LASU was into PT the number of students that was into LASU PT was eight times greater than that of the regular students(where are they going to work?)
