The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has announced a significant milestone in its operations, fully transitioning to a digital platform for all quality assurance processes.
This move is in alignment with the Federal Government’s digital-driven policies and the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Starting from August 2024, the NBTE will cease all physical accreditation and quality assurance activities within the institutions under its purview.
This change marks a pivotal shift towards modernization and efficiency in the supervision, regulation, and oversight of educational programs offered by technical institutions at the secondary, polytechnic, and monotechnic levels across Nigeria.
The NBTE, in a recent statement, highlighted the success of its digitalization policy.
The board reported a substantial increase in engagement with the new digital system, with 489 institutions and stakeholders now utilizing the platform.
This transition is expected to streamline processes, enhance transparency, and improve the overall quality of technical education in the country.
