Thesis Abstract

<p> </p><p>The study investigates the students and lecturers perception on entry qualifications of Pre-NCE and Direct Entry in Fine and Applied Arts programme in College of Education, Gashua, Yobe State and College of Education, Azare, Bauchi State. A pilot study was conducted at Federal College of Education (Technical) Potiskum Yobe State. The Study set out to examine whether admitted students meet the prerequisite requirement for admission. Descriptive survey design was used while the population comprised all the Pre-NCE and Direct entry students of Fine and Applied Arts that are in the two Colleges of Education. The sample were 118 in number which comprised of 17 lecturers and 101 students from the two Colleges of Education that were studied. The instrument used for data collection included records of students that were admitted between 2010 to 1014; a structured questionnaire was also used for lecturers and students to seek their views on the entry qualifications of Pre-NCE and Direct Entry students in the two colleges that were studied. Data used was analysed using t-test and results showed that 80% of students reading Fine and Applied Arts in the two colleges studied lack the relevant entry qualifications. Students admitted through Pre-NCE usually gain admission into NCE 100 level through transmition. An insignificant number of students gain admission through Join Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB). It was concluded that admission into Fine and Applied Arts was done through purchase and completion of forms and through aptitude test. Also qualified students should be admitted and trained in Fine and Applied Arts programme.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <br><p></p>
