Minister demands results from colleges of education under dual mandate

Minister of Education Dr Tunji Alausa has called on provosts of colleges of education to demonstrate results by effectively implementing the dual mandate, improving institutional accountability, and enhancing teacher preparation. The dual mandate policy, which allows colleges to offer both the Nigeria Certificate in Education and approved bachelor’s degree programmes in education, aims to broaden opportunities for teacher training and academic progression.

Alausa emphasized that the success of this reform hinges on strategic leadership, collaboration, and accountability among stakeholders. He commended the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) for organizing the awards ceremony, which recognizes educational leaders who have contributed to improving educational outcomes in Nigeria.
