The National Teachers’ Institute (NTI), Kaduna, has assured students enrolled in its Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) and degree programmes that they will be allowed to complete their respective academic programmes despite a recent directive by the Federal Ministry of Education.
The Institute gave the assurance in a statement issued by its Head of Public Relations and Protocol, Yusha’u Ahmed, in response to concerns arising from the ministry’s directive on admissions, accreditation and university affiliation at the institution.
According to the statement, the directive is not intended to abandon students already enrolled in the Institute and pursuing their academic programmes.
The management, therefore, urged students to remain calm, assuring them that adequate arrangements would be made to enable them complete their studies.
It advised students to continue monitoring official communications and maintain regular contact with their respective study centres for updates on academic activities, accreditation exercises, examinations and other arrangements relating to the completion of their programmes.
The Institute also acknowledged the concerns generated by the recent directive and appealed to students, parents, Study Centre Managers, facilitators and other stakeholders to avoid spreading unverified information capable of creating unnecessary anxiety.
It reiterated its commitment to keeping stakeholders informed of developments concerning the academic programmes and urged students to rely on official channels for accurate information.
