The National Board for Technical Education has clarified that the new online top-up programme for Higher National Diploma holders, HND to acquire a
Bachelor’s Degree for one year, with foreign accredited universities is not meant for all HND holders, but those who want to pursue an academic career.
Hajia Fatima Abubakar, NBTE Head of Media Unit, made the clarification on Tuesday, in a statement, saying the programme is for those who want their career in an academic environment such as teaching and research in the Polytechnics or Universities.”In a democracy such as ours, HND holders should be allowed to make a choice between PGD and the top-up to BSc,” he said.
The statement informed that the cost of the programme is reasonable, about 10 percent of what regular face-to-face students pay.
