The University of Ilesa in Osun State, Southwest Nigeria has made all programmes in the Faculty of Education Tuition Fee free, from 100 level till graduation.
Consequently, students admitted to study education programmes in the University will only have to pay certain affordable incidental charges.
In a press statement released by the School Public Relations officer Mr. Abimbola Tooki, it said “The university management arrived at this decision while expressing great concern over the dwindling enrollment of candidates in all programmes in the Faculty of Education and the need to save the noble teaching profession from extinction.”
It stated that the implementation of the new policy will take effect from the 2024/2025 academic session.
According to the statement, “It is believed that this decision which is in tandem with the integral action plan of the Osun State Government under Senator Ademola Adeleke, in getting qualified teachers appointed to teach in the lower levels of the educational sector, will yield the desired objective and will also help the nation at large.”
