Educational Management
Introduction
In recent years, the Department of Educational Management has witnessed many candidates applying to study Business Education in the University of Ilorin, and who indeed have NCE (Business Education), Advanced Level papers in Business Management, Accounting and Economics as their entry qualifications. At best, the Department has been able to offer them admission for Educational Management with minor in Accounting or Economics leaving out other aspects such as Secretarial (Office Education) and Marketing Education. It is in the light of the above that the Department wishes to mount programme in Business Education. The programme is expected to prepare teachers for both junior and senior secondary schools. This programme will help to solve the problem of shortage of manpower to teach Business Studies, Principles of Accounting, Typewriting, and Shorthand in our secondary schools.
If University of Ilorin mounts this programme it will boost the supply of teachers in Business Education and will also take care of teaming candidates from the University catchment areas and elsewhere who are seeking admission year in year out. In addition, the programme may be used to resuscitate the defunct University of Ilorin Staff Development Centre which used to prepare Junior and Intermediate manpower in secretarial administration for the University and sister institutions within the State. Furthermore, the programme will go a long way to ensure the accreditation of Business Education programme of the Colleges of Education seeking affiliation to the University of Ilorin.
