The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has received approval from the National Universities Commission (NUC) to establish a dedicated College of Education.
The approval was conveyed in a formal letter to the Vice-Chancellor of UNICAL, signed by the NUC’s Acting Director of Academic Planning on behalf of the Acting Executive Secretary, Abubakar Girei.
With this approval, UNICAL is set to restructure its Faculty of Education into a fully-fledged College of Education.
UNICAL College of Education
The proposed college will include the following faculties:
- Faculty of Science Education
- Faculty of Arts and Social Science Education
- Faculty of Educational Foundation Studies
- Faculty of Vocational and Entrepreneurial Education
Existing programmes under the former Faculty of Education will transition to the new College of Education.
This change will take effect immediately to align with the NUC’s directive.
The decision to grant this approval followed an expert panel’s rigorous facility verification visit.
From 17th to 24th December 2024, the panel assessed the university’s preparedness, focusing on the availability of physical infrastructure and resources to support the new academic units.
The panel’s favourable report affirmed UNICAL’s readiness, paving the way for establishing the College of Education.
