The Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Colleges of Education, Angela Ajala, has unveiled plans to introduce a competency-based digital curriculum across Nigeria’s colleges of education, declaring that her administration is determined to restore the prestige of teacher education and produce a new generation of digitally skilled, globally competitive teachers.
Ajala made the disclosure on Wednesday in Abuja during activities marking her first 100 days in office, where she outlined a reform agenda centred on curriculum modernisation, digital transformation, skills acquisition, inclusive education and the implementation of the dual-mandate policy.
According to her, the reforms are aimed at addressing longstanding concerns about the quality of teacher preparation and ensuring that colleges of education remain relevant in an increasingly technology-driven world.
“Teacher education is unlike any other education. It is the foundation and bedrock of all other professions. If we get teacher preparation right, we get the future right,” Ajala
