The Federal Government has cut ties between the National Teachers Institute and all its university affiliations across the country, a move that reshapes how thousands of Nigerians access teacher education.
The Ministry made clear that it will no longer process admissions into full-time, part-time, or Distance Learning Studies programmes for NCE or Bachelor's degree qualifications under NTI. That covers a wide reach, given how many working teachers and aspiring educators have historically relied on NTI's flexible study options to earn credentials while staying in the classroom.
What this means for students currently enrolled, or those who had planned to apply, is still unfolding. Watch this space.
