Crackdown on Illegal Colleges of Education: A Step Towards Quality Assurance

The National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) has taken a significant step towards ensuring the quality and integrity of the education sector by shutting down 22 illegal Colleges of Education across the country. This move is in line with President Bola Tinubu’s directive to regulatory agencies to weed out “certificate millers” undermining the credibility of the education sector.

By cracking down on illegal institutions, the commission is helping to prevent the proliferation of substandard education, which can have far-reaching consequences for individuals and society as a whole.

The NCCE, National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), and Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) are working together to improve the quality of education and eliminate cases of forgery and unrecognized institutions.
