The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has rejected the Core Curriculum Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) prepared by the National Universities Commission. The union said the curriculum standards were “flawed both in process and in content” adding that it would not stand the test of critical scrutiny of university Senates.
Curriculum Standards Prepared By Nigerian Universities Commission, NUC Are Flawed, Cannot Stand – Lecturers, ASUU KickThe union said the curriculum standards were “flawed both in process and in content” adding that it would not stand the test of critical scrutiny of university Senates.
A statement signed by the national president of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, on Friday, explained that it was inexplicable that NUC pre-packaged 70 per cent CCMAS contents were being imposed on the Nigerian University System, adding that university Senates, who are statutorily responsible for academic programme development, were left to work on only 30 per cent.
“However, the process of generating the standard is as important than what is produced as “minimum standards”. The statement revealed that, however, some university Senates did not hide their displeasure with the ongoing efforts to impose CCMAS on Nigerian universities by the NUC.
