National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) graduates now eligible for NYSC and Law School |
This is to inform all the general public and most especially students of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) that graduates from the institution are now eligible to go for National Youth Service Corps and to attend the Nigerian Law School.
According to Punch, the Senate has passed an amendment to the law establishing the National Open University, which will make graduates of the institution eligible for mobilisation by the National Youth Service Corps and to attend the Nigerian Law School.
The passage followed the
adoption of a report by the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and
TETFund on the ‘Bill for An Act to Amend the National Open University Act Cap
N6 LFN 1983 (Amendment) Bill 2017’ by the lawmakers at the plenary on Thursday.
The report said, “The
objectives of the bill are as follows: firstly, to amend the existing
legislation with a view to removing the perception of the public about the
university in respect of the word ‘correspondence,’ which gives the impression
that the university is not a full-time university and, as such, seen as
part-time.
“These two concepts –
correspondence and part-time – significantly affect the way the public views
the programs run by the university. This has been the reason why the Law
graduates of the school are not admitted into the Nigerian Law School as well
as the reason for the non-inclusion of the graduates of the university into the
National Youth Service Corps scheme.
“Secondly, to include
information and Communication Technology as another means of providing tuition
towards the advancement of learning throughout Nigeria. The National Open
University, as currently run, depends critically on virtual learning and
students’ individual research, hence, the need for improvement and introduction
of helpful learning tools as presented by ICT. This will further deal with the
challenge of limited access in the tertiary education sector.”
