The Federal Government's recent policy, introduced by the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, exempts applicants for Colleges of Education from taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) administered by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). This decision has sparked significant criticism from various stakeholders in the education sector, who argue that it undermines the standardization of admissions. The backlash highlights concerns regarding the implications of the policy on the quality of education and the selection process for prospective students. As the debate continues, the Minister faces mounting pressure to address the concerns raised by educators and the public.
