Education ministry restricts admission into unity colleges within approved capacity
The Ministry of Education has announced that admissions into unity colleges are now fully automated and strictly conducted within the approved capacity of each school.
The ministry said this was to eliminate previous challenges of overstretched facilities.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Education, Folasade Boriowo.
Ms Boriowo said that the ministry had released admissions into the unity colleges across the country.
According to her, the current admission exercise covers 80 conventional Federal Unity Colleges for Junior Secondary School 1.
She added that admission into the remaining 42 federal technical colleges under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme would be released in due course.
Ms Boriowo said that the reform was expected to streamline the admission process, improve accountability and uphold the highest educational standards across federal unity colleges nationwide.
She said that admission results could now be accessed on the ministry’s official website, www.education.gov.ng
