The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) on Monday said that the enrolment for Colleges of Education,
Polytechnics and Monotechnics and Innovative Enterprise Institutions had
improved greatly.
JAMB’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian
Benjamin, said this in a statement he issued in Lagos on Monday.
It said that the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) had expanded the carrying capacity of the institutions and
thereby, to a large extent, addressed the issue of admission access in the
country.
According to the statement, the negative
preference by most Nigerian candidates over these institutions of higher
learning necessitated the need by the board to introduce a unified examination.
“Today, we are not there yet, but the enrolment
for colleges of education, polytechnics, monotechnics and Innovative Enterprise
Institutions has greatly improved.
“Having said this, I want to say that we are
worried by a recent interview granted by the Vice-Chancellor, University of
Lagos, Prof. Rahmon Bello, where he allegedly blamed the Board for admission
challenges in tertiary education.
“The respected scholar also said that the board’s
matriculation examination should be split into three, with the universities,
polytechnics and colleges of education each having separate entrance
examination.
“We sincerely appreciate this concern over the
challenges of admission, especially as it affects carrying capacity and the
preferences of candidates for universities over other tiers of tertiary
institutions.
“However, the board would want the public to note
that it was this same concern amongst others that led to the unification of the
matriculation examination,” the statement said.
According to the statement, when the board was
conducting UME for universities and MPCE for other institutions of higher
learning, one of the major concerns of stakeholders was the negligible number
of candidates sitting for the MPCE.
“For instance, when over a million candidates sit
for the UME, less than 200,000 applied for the MPCE.
“At the 2008 National Council of Education
meeting, it was observed that the disparity in entrance examination and
separate examination was partly responsible for this negligible enrolment.
“The Prof. Dibu Ojerinde-led board was then
mandated to fashion a way of addressing this challenge and ensure uniformity in
entrance requirements.
“It was to also look into the admissions and also
to improve the patronage of these tiers and above all, ensure that teachers and
technical education in the country get the best,” it said.
According to the statement, today, one of the
challenges that has negatively affected the choice of university over others is
the issue of the HND/B.Sc dichotomy.
It said that the board was appealing to all
stakeholders to call on government to urgently address this issue, as it holds
the key to resolving the preference of universities over other tertiary
institutions in the country.
It said that when policies ran into stormy
waters, there was the need to find a lasting solution by involving all
stakeholders rather than jettison all its gains.
“What we should be looking at now if there are
challenges of admission is to look for ways of improving on the policies and
ensure that the today gains are sustained and improved upon.
“One of the gains of the Unified Matriculation
Examination by the board is the tremendous increase in the patronage for
polytechnics, colleges of education and the Innovative Enterprises Institutions.
“This is as against what was the situation before
the unification used to be.
“The board has not achieved a 100 per cent result
due to other variables, but wishes to appeal to government to support this
drive.
“Government can achieve this by first removing
the certificate dichotomy and placing of graduates of polytechnics and
universities on the same scale in the civil service and private sector employee
scheme, if practicable,” the statement said.
It noted that going back to separate examination
would worsen the situation and return the country back to the starting stage.
The statement said that the situation where
candidates who applied for placements into universities could not be admitted
and as well could not take up admission opportunities in other institutions of
higher learning would play up.
It said that that such a development would
further place heavy financial burdens on the candidates, as they would want to
sit for all the examinations to achieve the same result that the unified
examination was currently giving them.
“If all graduates of both universities and
polytechnics are to be seen to be the same, then they must equally have the
same treatment.
“Our teachers too must also be the products of good competition,” it said.
