Dean’s Message

Dear Educational Community, As the current steward of the Faculty of Education’s rich legacy that spans nearly six decades, I am honored to build upon the foundation laid by our distinguished predecessors, beginning with Professor Emeritus C. O. Taiwo in 1964. Our faculty stands as a testament to educational excellence and innovation. From our origins as part of the UNESCO-advised merger with the Federal Advanced Teachers’ College to our status as a comprehensive faculty, we have consistently evolved to meet the changing needs of Nigeria’s educational sector. Today, we remain committed to our core objectives of preparing professional graduate teachers, developing high-caliber educational leaders, and promoting excellence through practical teaching experience. Our faculty continues to uphold the philosophy of functional education for productive work, ensuring our graduates are fully equipped to make meaningful contributions to education at all levels. As we move forward, we will continue to strengthen our position as a cornerstone of educational development through enhanced teaching facilities, expanded research opportunities, and innovative programs that address national development needs. Our commitment to producing highly motivated, conscientious, and effective classroom teachers remains unwavering. Together, we will honor our rich heritage while embracing the future of education. Sincerely, Professor Adebayo Oladipo Dean, Faculty of Education
