News reports have revealed that the Federal
College of Education has reportedly expelled 50
students over examinations malpractice.
The provost of FCE, Plateau reportedly revealed
this during a press briefing held at the college’s
pre-convocation which took place on Tuesday,
January 12.
Speaking during the press briefing, the provost
said:
“We do not condone examination malpractice. Last
year alone, we expelled between 40 and 50
students due to examination malpractice. We do
such exercises on yearly basis.”
The provost went on to reveal that the college
would be graduating 13,000 students from 2007
to 2013 academic sessions this Saturday,
January 16.
Premium Times reports that the provost had
shared that, of the graduating 13,000, 3,000 were
to be awarded degrees from their affiliation with
the University of Jos, while the remaining 10,000
would be awarded NCE’s.
Speaking on challenges the institution has had to
deal with, the provost revealed that the colleges
of education in Nigeria are seriously under-
funded, explaining that the institution has been
unable to hold it’s convocation in the last 10
years due to under funding and lack of
manpower.
Another challenge to the institution as revealed
by the provost was their lack in Student’s
accommodations, although he also appreciated
the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETF) for
their assistance with the provision of structures
as well as other logistics.
