JAMB to chart policy directions for tertiary institutions
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it is set to chart policy directions for the nation’s tertiary institutions.
The board, which made this known in its Weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar on Monday in Abuja, said this would be discussed at its 2022 Policy Meeting slated for Thursday.
The meeting which will be chaired by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, will also kickstart the 2022/2023 admissions process into tertiary institutions in the country.
Expected in attendance are heads of tertiary institutions and regulatory agencies in the education sector and other critical stakeholders.
The policy meeting would deliberate on issues emanating from the presentation by the board’s Registrar, Ishaq Oloyede.
The presentation would dwell on the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry applications, as well as set the tone for the 2022/23 admission exercise.
“The meeting is expected to chart policy directions for the nation’s tertiary institutions.
“It is to set admissions guidelines and present application statistics, candidates’ performance as well as evaluate the 2021 admission exercise.”
Among other things, the meeting “will take a stand on acceptable minimum admission standards to be applied in all admissions, also to be undertaken by all the institutions.”
