NUC Denies Ranking University Of Ibadan As The Best In Nigeria by Promzyguru: 7:24am On Dec 09, 2015 |
The National Universities Commission (NUC)
has dissociated
itself from the purported ranking of Nigerian
universities
making rounds on the Internet.
In a swift statement released by NUC, the
commission said
that the list did not emanate from the
supervisory agency of
the nation’s university system.
The statement read,"The attention of the NUC
has been drawn
to some purported lists, making the rounds on
the internet, of
the ‘Top 100’ and ‘Top 50’ universities in
Nigeria, which were
alleged to be the outcome of a non-existing
‘annual university
rankings’ by the National University
Commission.
"It has to be stated, unequivocally, that the lists
did not
emanate from the NUC. The Commission
therefore totally
dissociates itself from them."
The NUC restated that its mandate includes
approval of
courses and programmes; determination and
maintenance of
Minimum Academic Standards; monitoring of
universities;
accreditation of academic programmes and
institutions; as
well as provision of guidelines and processing
of applications
for the establishment of private universities.
The NUC added that the first ranking of Nigerian
universities
done by the agency in 2002 was based on the
performance of
the universities’ academic programmes in the
1999 and 2000
accreditation exercises.
The 2004 ranking, it stated, was based on
percentage of
academic programmes of the university with
full accreditation
status; compliance with carrying capacity;
proportion of the
academic staff of the university at professorial
level; foreign
content in workforce and students; and faculty
members with
outstanding academic achievements.
It stated that the NUC also looked at research
output; student
completion rate; Ph.D graduate output for the
year; stability of
university calendar; and student-to-computer
ratio.
The results of the exercise, the NUC added,
were duly
published and that the same would be done for
future
exercises.
The commission added that though it had
started the
accreditation of universities since 1990, it
considered the
institutional accreditation in May 2006 to
complement
programme accreditation.
“Following wide consultations, the instruments
for this exercise
were designed and pilot-tested in six universities
in 2010. The
instruments were fine-tuned, based on the
findings of the pilot
exercise and NUC was ready for the full-blown
institutional
accreditation, which took off on 27 November,
2011.
"A total of 26 universities were selected, based
on the fact that
at least 70 per cent of all their programmes had
full
accreditation."
The above, the NUC stated,"is the build-up to
the next ranking
exercise by the NUC, which outcome will be
made public.
"Stakeholders in the university education sub-
sector and the
general public are therefore advised to ignore
the spurious
lists of 'Top 100' and 'Top 50' universities being
peddled by
those who appear bent on causing disaffection
in the Nigerian
University System,"the statement added. http://solutionclass.com/forum2_theme_111995803.xhtml?tema=172 |

In as much as the ratio of graduates turned up par year is not proportional to the numbers of being employed, i don't care about the list! |
