Abstract
The study was conducted to evaluate NCE Business
Education programme as an entry requirement into the first degree
programme in Business Education in Nigerian Universities. The
population of the study consists of One hundred and thirty five
(135) NCE graduates in 200 Level Business Education programme in
the four oldest Universities that offer Business Education in
Nigeria. The Universities are Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (60);
University of Nigeria, Nsukka, (25); University of Benin, Benin City
(35) and Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port
Harcourt (15). The research population serves as sample
since only 200 Level Business Education students with NCE degree were
studied. The research population was considered not too large and
therefore there was no need for sampling.
Questionnaire and documentary evidence were used in
gathering data, which were statistically analyzed and interpreted.
The study revealed the following;
1. There is no significantassociation between the courses offered at
NCE.
Business Education and those offered in Business Education
degree Programme.
2. Some courses were totally new to NCE graduates who gained
admission to Business Education degree programme.
3. Some Universities donot give course exemptions to NCE Business
Education Certificate holders who pursue Business Education
degree programme in Nigerian Universities.
4. Most NCE Business Education Certificate holders spend more than
two years for the post NCE degree programme.
In this study the researcher made the
following recommendations:
(a) Holders of NCE Certificate with a minimum grade of Credit
at NCE should spend only two years to obtain the bachelors
degree in Business Education.
(b) Business Education Curriculum planners should harmonize
the - programmes in all Universities to ensure that all
students who are NCE holders and admitted into Business
Education degree programme in the university get adequate
credit hours exemption on the programme.
(c) The entry qualification into NCE programme be raised to a
minimum of four credits including English Language and
Mathematics.
The Study highlights the implications for classroom
instructions to include among others, that broadening the
course content of NCE programme would give room for
improvement and that exposure to new courses at NCE
level would offer new challenges and better performance.
