oint Admission and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) - Great relief for admission seekers as JAMB has revealed that the discrimination in degrees in the country will soon come to an end when HND is transformed into Bachelor Of Technology.


The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde has said President Muhammadu Buhari is willing to implement the waiver that will end the B.Sc and HND segregation.

Buhari had received the updated report on the B.Sc and HND controversy, which was presented by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, MacJohn Nwaobiala last Tuesday.

Ojerinde, who spoke with reporters on Wednesday, recalled that the last administration set up a committee to look at how the two could be merged.

He said, "The system has not given adequate vision for the other levels of education. We have not encouraged technical education, we have not encouraged Teachers education also; in fact, we have not encouraged agricultural education to the extent that everybody feels that the only way to survive is to go to the University.

"The only way to make it is to have a degree; so I am saying we should revisit our system, we should look at why candidates don't want to go to polytechnics, and we should look at why they don't want teachers’ education; we should also revisit why they don't want agriculture.

"By our experience, most people will like to study law, engineering, medicine, accountancy, these are the top courses being sought for in the universities; nobody wants to study education. So, I see we have problems in that area and I am sure the Federal Ministry of Education is trying to solve that problem.

"First of all Technical Education, there's dichotomy between Bachelors degree and National Diploma or Higher National Diploma, (HND). It was one of the things presented to Mr. President to find a way of implementing the waiver of the dichotomy between HND and the B.Sc degree. The so called HND should now be changed to B.tech which means Bachelor of Technology.

"Former President Musa Yar’Adua may his soul rest in peace, said he doesn't have any problem with B.tech. Unfortunately, government also has not sorted this entire problem. And there are such cases of people like me in this country, I wouldn't have been able to read, I wouldn't have been able to go to school. So what I am saying is, government should look at how we can improve technical education.

"Four colleges of Education have been upgraded to universities of Education, you will see the rush into those universities now because they can now get bachelor's degree. And when they come to the public, they will not be a push away. So this is where we are, I think if I go by what we saw on Wednesday, President Buhari and the Vice President listened and they were interested in what we presented".

What's chasing you sir

Truth is, even if the degree change of name stands, does it avert the disparities that has eaten deep in Naija Educational system??

FriedPlantain:
Last I checked, it wasn't JAMB 's prerogative to determine which educational institution gets what degree or the power to change the nomenclature of one.
