Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti 5,000 students to miss out as Ado Poly offers 2000 slots

About 5000 of the 7000 prospective students who sat for the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination(P-UTME) of theFederal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, will not be admitted.

The Rector of the polytechnic, DrTheresa Akande, a statement by the institution’s spokesman, Prince Ade Adeyemi-Adejolu, said the institution has only the capacity to admit 2,000 of the applicants for its National Diploma (ND) program.

She said this in view of its carrying capacity as allotted by theNational Board for Technical Education(NBTE).

The Rector said all is being done to ensure a smooth conclusion of admission processes towards the commencement of the 2015/2016 session.

9ja School Gist gathered that 2015 Post-UTME test was held from Monday the 5th and Friday 9th of October.
Giving the low admission figures, applicants often jostle for slots, sometimes resorting to bribing officials to influence the process.

Last year, during the institution’s admission process, Akande had warned applicants to shun admission agents or 'face the wrath of the law'.

620,000 children out of school in Katsina - UNICEF

UNICEFsays the household mapping conducted inKatsinaState indicated that no fewer than 620,000 children were out of school.
The UNICEF State Coordinator, MrShehu Mohammad, made this known at the launch of the 2015Enrolment Drive CampaigninKankia, Katsina State.
Mohammad, who said that girls recorded 55 per cent out of the number, attributed the development to the negative perception of formal education.

The coordinator further revealed that a report published in 2012 showed that about 8.7 million of primary school age children were out of school inNigeria.
He added that 74 per cent of them never entered school while five per cent were classified as dropouts.
Mohammad said UNICEF adopted the enrolment campaign as one of the key intervention initiatives under the Girls Education Project 3 (GEP3).
According to him, the project targets enrolment of additional one million girls in five northern states.
In his remarks, Gov.Aminu Masaristressed the importance of girl-child education, pledging that his administration would continue to accord education top priority due to its importance in nation building.

Masari called on people of the state to enrol their children in schools, pointing out that the government had already designed policies to develop the education sector.
Also speaking, the Emir of Katsina, AlhajiAbdulmumini Kabir, called on parents to enrol their children in schools.

The emir directed traditional rulers in the state to continue to partner with other stakeholders to improve the education sector.
He urged district and village heads in the state to embark on inspection visits to schools in their domains.
Kabir, however, lamented the dearth of qualified teachers, saying that the development was affecting the education sector negatively
