BRIEF HISTORY

The Department of Adult and Non-formal Education started “de facto”, as one of the five (5) divisions of the Institute of Education approved on 6th April 1987 by the Development Committee of the University. “De Jure”, the Division started in February 1985 when Senate of the University gave her approval.

On 6th April, 1987 the Development Committee of the University gave approval for the unit of Adult and Non-formal Education to operate as one of the Divisions of the Institute.

In 1987, the Division of Adult and Non-formal Education started the certificate programme to prepare students for low level manpower in the field of Adult Education. This programme received the approval of the Joint Consultative Committee in Education (JCCE) within this period. Accordingly, the Certificate programme was the primary concern of the Institute’s Division.

 

The Degree Programme: In 1990/91, the Division of Adult & Non-Formal Education received Senate’s approval to introduce 4-year B.Ed Degree Programme in the areas of Arts, Social Sciences and Sciences teaching subjects as student minor areas of concentration, while Adult and Non-Formal Education remains their major area of concentration.

The Department took off initially with a population of 40 students in 1990/91 academic session. This first set of students graduated in 1995/96. Other susbsequent sets of students followed till date. The programme content was broad based and the quality of the products was highly rated by the employers.

This B.Ed Programme has for three times been accredited by the National Universities Commission’s Team and Officials in November 2002, February 2005 and November 2007.

 

Post-Graduate Programmes:  High demand for more and higher quality adults in organizations, management, administration and disseminating knowledge at higher levels made the Department to introduce programmes leading to the award of the Master of Education (M.Ed) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) degrees. These programmes took off in 200/2001 and 2004/2005 academic sessions respectively. These programmes cover specialization areas in Community Development, Environmental Adult Education, Distance Education and Literacy Education. The two programmes were approved by the Senate of the University in 2000/2001 academic year.

The above information reveals the status and the history of the Department of Adult & Non-Formal Education of the University of Port Harcourt.

Notice for all Post Graduating Students

Before any presentation of completed work is done by post graduating students either at the Faculty or Post Graduate School, the Departmental Graduate Board must have met and looked at what is to be presented by the students a week before presentation. The students who are to present must bring the copies of  their work to be presented to the Graduate Board precisely the Thursday preceding the one scheduled for presentation at the Faculty or Post Graduate School. The decision was arrived at for quality control and therefore must be complied with. The Graduate Board also agreed that whenever we have proposed defence, all academic staff and Post Graduate students of the Department should be invited to be present. That once students are admitted for Masters Degree, those to offer remedial courses must take and pass the courses first before registering for their Master Programme.

Registration of Courses

Each student is required to register for all courses he/she offers during the stipulated time which is usually within the first two weeks of resumption. Students are expected to pay their school fees first and collect the manual registration form from the department and proceed to any cyber café for on-line registration. Credit units of courses to be registered must not be less than 15 or more than 24 in a semester and must exceed 48 in a session. Students are required to register their carry-over courses first before their current year courses. Fresh postgraduate students should first pay their school fees in the approved banks on campus and proceed to graduate school for collection of registration forms. All postgraduate courses are registered in the department.

 

Forgery

During registration of new/fresh students at both the certificate and freshman/undergraduate levels, original certificates or credentials used to secure admission will be verified by the Department to ascertain their authenticity.  Again, at the end of each programme, i.e. one year certificate or four years of undergraduate, verification of certificates/credentials are strictly revisited before exit of students from the department.  At any point a student is found guilty of forging any certificate/credential, transcript and any other official document, such a student shall be expelled from the department/university.  Students of this department are therefore warned in their own interest, to desist from acts capable of demeaning the integrity of the Department of Adult and Non-formal Education.

 

Examination Malpractice

Any student in the Department of Adult and Non-formal Education at the certificate, undergraduate and post-graduate levels found guilty of examination malpractice of any sort shall be expelled from the department/university.  For clarity, examination malpractice is defined as all forms of cheating which directly or indirectly falsify the ability of a student.  In other words, examination malpractice denotes any form of fraud committed by a student in order to pass an examination which under normal circumstances he or she would not have passed.  Its forms are various, ranging from cheating in the examination hall such as impersonation, smuggling into the examination hall/room scribes of already prepared answers, copying from each other or one another (collusion), oral or written communication between/amongst students during examination etc, to cheating outside the examination hall/room (see details on examination malpractice). An investigating panel shall be constituted by the Departmental Board to look into the case and recommend appropriate disciplinary actions.
