Please we need your comment

Musiwa2: how can they do that. are you telling the truth. part time program are part of the system . who did that and when

NUC did that recently

bad policy. They should have reviewed the programme

It‘s foolishness accompanied with selfishness that led to such decisions. Some of the people in government got their certificates through part-time programmes but, they want to block the way for others.

OP what's your source? A blanket ban on all part-time programmes in tertiary institutions wld be absurd. Are u sure you're not confusing this with the over abused long distance programmes?

I also heard the news too on the radio.

olyivy: I also heard the news too on the radio.

did they state the reason for it?

the op is ryt.i also heard it on the news bt they didnt specify any reasonable reason 4 dat move.bt wateva b their reason its nt justifiable given the thousands of students that programme has given hope in life.

This is what characterises Nigeria's policy making - insensitivity. Just to ensure that education becomes unattainable by all means.

It is a welcome idea, this will grant more admission chances for the utme students. Most universities in this country prefer to enroll and admit other programmes applicant, pre degree, foundatn course, part time and lot more

Did the also ban consultancy programmes?

The truth is most public schools don't have enough lecturers for full time programmes, the only reason for part time on the side of most school authority is greed, most of the student of these part time programme get extorted twice the amount they extort regular students for half their lecture. Instead of fulltime students recieving lectures for shorter hours on weekdays and part time students take over on weekends, regular students should recieve lectures and practicals on weekdays and weekends.

Why make a big deal about part-time programmes in Nigeria. In climes like the United States, lots of people work and school-That's essentially part-time.
All the NUC and perhaps the ministry of education should do is set the rules, the standards, the controls over every institution that runs part time programmes. Ensuring that the teeming youths in Nigeria gets adequate quality education is key. Yes, there may be specialised courses like medicine that need full residence in the college, however many other courses can be very well studied fulltime, part time, online etc.
For examples, there are qualified accountants today, who have no first degrees but got chartered by rigorous personal studies.
The Govt should do every thing possible to ensure that every nigerian youth who desires tetiary education can acquire same.

It's Unfair

is good for the students

Naija things

they will open it.it is all politics.

its not good, @least its the last hope of some pple, nd d working class also benefit greatly frm it

The Government is simply Clueless about all facets Generally!

Is the suspension applicable to part time Post Graduate programme

so d r expectn me,to resign from work......i d laugh...obj

It's a pointless move IMO.

Its so not reasonable.some pple dnt have sponsors they have to work to pay their fee thats why they chøose part-time,thats bad of them,they re nt considerate

mr. man, where is ur source of dis info.?

Another clueless and anti pple decision
they don't av any reasonable or justifiable reason to suspend part time. So what hapens to those who can't afford fultine's fees and decide to work to be able sponsor themselfs through school?
Make dem go learn work or trade abi?
Pityable pismal dismal situation we find ourselves in dis country..........Sorbs

Its true i saw it on AIT news last week, They guy is a fool for saying that they will suspend part-time. So he wants to tell me those workers doing part-time program would leave there work and start attending program's in the morning.

That guy drink shepe before him go on air... thats why noting works in Nigeria , Bad policies.

Very bad move.

Some of the part-time students re already in their final year. They already spent yrs, and thousands of naira. U wanna dash their hope?

Some adult wouldn't get promoted @ work cos they carry HND(banks 4 example) don't wanna mention name, they re in PT so they can have better life.

Some students didn't av sponsor @ d  they shld be in sch so had to work very hard to sponsor themselve now that they can help themsleve.

Some students were unable to gain admission due to d small spaces in their programs so they just av to get into PT cos time is no longer in their side. U wanna kill them?

I can go on and on.

Why is d govt like this? Who is this NUC boss?

Why can't u set the standards: in admission processes, lectures, exams etc instead of this.

As I type this, I av 3 pple close to me here that ll be affected by this! Alot of money have been spent.

Oh my goodness! What is wrong with this govt?

Can their be a protest or something? Whether e-protest or physical!

God: we need ur help in Nigeria plz, Thanks.

I have always asked this question: why is it that policies that work in other climes don't work in nigeria? Are we cursed? Do govt think at all before acting? There is no country in this world that dont have part-time studies as part of the education system. What the govt should do is stop the proliferation of universities, close some private universities, and stop further granting of licenses to other private ones. Do this govt know that many part-time students are better than the full time students, do this useless and clueless NUC, that knows nothing aside strike, know that most part-time students are HND, ND, ACA, ACCA NCE etc holders? I sincerely weep for this forced marriage.

Just another means of extorting money from prospective applicant....
