FULafia Enhances Academic Staff Capacity for Core Curriculum Implementation

In an effort to uphold educational excellence, the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) has successfully completed a 3-day capacity-building program for its academic staff. This program focused on equipping staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively implement the Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) introduced by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

The Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) are integral components of Nigeria's higher education system, designed to ensure the delivery of quality education that meets established standards.

The primary objective of this comprehensive training was to empower university academic staff with the expertise required to seamlessly incorporate the CCMAS into their teaching and learning processes. By doing so, FULafia aims to enhance the quality of education it provides, aligning its programs with national standards.

The program was conducted over three days and involved a series of workshops, seminars, and practical sessions. These activities were tailored to provide academic staff with a deeper understanding of the CCMAS guidelines and methodologies for effective implementation. Participants engaged in discussions, shared best practices, and explored strategies to enrich their teaching and research methodologies.

The successful conclusion of this capacity-building program demonstrates FULafia's commitment to academic excellence and continuous improvement. It affirms the university's dedication to producing graduates who are well-equipped to meet the demands of a dynamic and competitive job market.

The training took place from Thursday, October 5, 2023, and serves as a testament to FULafia's ongoing efforts to provide quality education that aligns with national standards and prepares students for a successful future.

By investing in the professional development of its academic staff, FULafia remains at the forefront of educational innovation and progress, contributing to the growth and advancement of Nigeria's higher education sector.
