Please go for computer science, if you are interested in Computer Education you can do PGDE after your Bsc, and also if you are doing computer science find a place to learn a skill related to hardware, it may just be during your holidays or weekend, don't just be a certificate holder that won't be able to troubleshoot laptop, we have so many Computer scientist like that, may be it is because they don't do practicals in school

There is no room for comparison at all, go straight for computer science, get a laptop and start learning programming, web development on his own right from 100 level through various online platforms, he will also meet some badass programmers as his colleagues and network with them. Get some certification after graduation and he is good to go. Computer education will only limit him to teach at secondary school and roadside computer centers. If he even intends going into academics with his computer science degree, he will be thinking of NIIT and other certified institutions.

Please I need your opinion on this. A brother needs some advice.

He got 2 admissions, One at a Federal Univeristy via Jamb-UTME to study Computer science for 4 years and another one via Direct Entry at a Federal College of Edu affiliated to UNN, to study Computer education for 3 years. He's currently 25 and is confused of which to go for. He's very worried about the age he'll graduate considering that he's the first son, and also the kind of degree he'll get if he chooses the 3 year option.

Your wise words are appreciated.

Patience is a virtue. He is 25 and has a 4 year course. What is rushing him? If he is so impatient at this age, what next? He needs to take it easy oh. Before I finish typing, 4 years go don reach.

Please and please, do not concern yourself with duration. There is a remarkable difference between Bsc computer and B edu.

It's a pity a host of us don't understand the difference between Bsc edu and Bsc. This is not about College of Education at all. There is difference between Tai Solarin University of Education and Tai Solarin College of Education. The former will issue Bsc.Ed cert in some.courses and B.ed in others, while the latter will issue,NCE etc.

Therefore,Bsc.ed means,you have double hons,Bsc in that field and at the same time B.ed in the same courses so,its your choice to be a professional in your field likewise be a professional teacher/lecturer in that field. Most of us are very good in our field but we can't teach because we lack education background hence,PDE or PGDE taken by Bsc holders. In the same vein,a Bsc ed holder can go for Masters or PHd in the field or education field whichever the person decides.

Op,to be sincere with you,Bsc edu is the best for any young lad now. If you don't secure a job in your field,you can teach as well. Single hons is not enough in the present Nigeria and TRCN is a body recognised home and abroad. Most of the Colleges of Education that offer Bsc edu are affliated to a University. Adeyemi College of Education is affliated to OAU meaning you're a graduate of OAU same with Federal College of Education,Osiele,Abeokuta affliated to UI. Both institutions can become a University of education by the FG anytime.

Op,don't fret. Education is the way. Forget abt the place you bagged the cert but try as much as possible to upgrade yourself. Skills with cert will take you places..

My brother, don't let anyone deceive you with hasty picks. Many people here will tell you to pick Computer Science over Computer Education because they feel education courses are inferior. But, bro, your brother is more likely to get a quick job with a degree in Computer Education than he would ever be with a degree in Computer Science.

As a matter of fact, Computer Science is an overrated course. Let him take the FCE admission. If he knows what he is doing, he will get employment either in a good private school or in a Federal or state school.

Nice one.
Leave them till they get a good offer to teach in a Uni before they understand why education is the best. We were brainwashed while growing to see education as inferior. I served im a College of Education,that was where I realised,I made a costly mistake. My dept was short of lecturers in my field,I had to teach but when I was pleading to be retained,then the issue sprung up,you don't have education background. Presently,running my PDE programme to keep that slot.

Computer Science has more prospect than computer science Education. However,like I said, if God is even with one studying Yoruba, he can achieve much more in life than a student studying medicine and surgery.

Both are technically Federal universities since the college of education is affiliated to UNN.
I also understand that Computer Education is not a double honors course. It is a mix of some Compter courses and education courses. It's not like the Bsc(ed) Computer science. It's Bsc Computer education.

Op you want to be a teacher and be collecting 25 to 40k salary No say we no tell you, better use your head. With Computer Science Bsc you can even teach if you want to. You also stand a better chance in other industries as well. Being an educationist limits your Career. Above all Teaching Career is very frustrating in this country. Insults from your employer, students and their parents plus meager salary with no hope of Career advancement prospects. I m talking from experience. I don talk my own ooo.

Good luck.

it is quite unfortunate and very sad that most people in this forum are still quite showing discrepancies over educational course. we always believe educational course is too inferior. op my candid advise to you is this, but first of all, let me tell you that I am a graduate of computer science education and presently I am doing my MEd in the same course. I would tell you there is nothing to be worried about.. in fact do you know that many universities are looking for lectures to fill up computer education department? only few universities have the course, if you want to venture into lecturing line, I will advice you to go for computer science education. do not be deceived, there are many computer scientist who are also road side computer repairer. friend don't be deceived. but the most important thing is, get your priority right, and do lots of certification.. that will give you an edge.

Many don't even understand the OP's question. Getting an admission into a college of education affiliated to UNN doesn't mean he will come out with NCE. OP I will advice you to pick computer education, because, you will have double honours which is Bsc(ed). I just laugh at guys that look down on education courses. Go for computer education, do professional courses. After your first degree in Computer education you can do your Msc in Computer science. Don't let anyone deceive you, there are non-computer science graduate that are good in information technology.
