He, however, conceded that the lecturers in the colleges of education are not PhD holders. He said that they will be giving time to develop.
“But most of the lecturers in our colleges of education do not hold PhD. So, we are giving them time to improve their knowledge through the British government support.”
According to the Minister, this decision is to ensure that the universities develop the capacity of teachers in the colleges of education.
