Fg Merges Polytechnics With Universities, Scraps The Following Programmes by Hopcy(m): 9:52pm On Aug 01, 2016
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a comprehensive reform of the tertiary education system in the country with plans to scrap the award of the Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes offered by polytechnics.
In effect, the award of the HND will be limited to only students currently enrolled in the programmes.
Also, all the programmes currently being run by polytechnics, which are not technology-based will be scrapped.
Under the new law, the polytechnics will now become campuses of the proximate universities with the Vice Chancellors of those universities appointing provosts for the polytechnics, subject to the ratification of the Universities Councils.
The polytechnics will now be limited to award of the National Diploma (ND) while those desirous of further education will be awarded the Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) by the proximate university.
To kick-start the new policy, the nation’s two most prominent polytechnics – Yaba College of Technology and Kaduna Polytechnic – will henceforth be known as City University of Technology, Yaba and City University of Technology, Kaduna respectively.
And to give legal backing to these approvals, the FEC approved the submission of two Executive bills to the National Assembly for enactment into law.
The first bill will concretise the setting up of the two city universities while the second will approve the preparation and consolidation of all federal polytechnics and colleges of education as campuses of proximate universities.
