INTRODUCTION
In Nigeria, the primary role of Colleges of Education is to train teachers who will after completion, be awarded the minimum teaching qualification of Nigeria Certificate of Education (NCE).
This certificate qualifies one to teach in Junior Secondary and Technical Colleges and the programme has duration of three years.
