Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government has announced plans to unbundle the merger of federal technical colleges and science schools in the country.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed by the Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman, a one-day stakeholders\u2019 meeting on the Challenges and Issues Affecting Technical Colleges in the country.<\/p>\n

Mamman expressed displeasure over the merging of technical colleges with colleges of science, says it eroded the gains of establishing technical colleges across the country.<\/p>\n

He explained that technical colleges ought to be strictly for pupils with an interest in technical education.<\/p>\n

The minister emphasised that those who want to do science programmes should go to regular colleges and continue their programmes there as it was clearly a mistake to have merged both schools.<\/p>\n

Mamman also lamented the low enrolment of students in the technical colleges, noting that technical colleges were to teach skills to transform the country.<\/p>\n
