The University of Calabar has been granted a formal approval from the National Universities Commission, NUC, to establish a College of Education.

This information was conveyed in a letter issued to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar by the NUC's Acting Director, Academic Planning, on behalf of the Acting Executive Secretary, Abubakar Girei.

The proposed College of Education is expected to house the Faculty of Science Education, Faculty of Arts & Social Science Education, Faculty of Educational Foundation Studies and the Faculty of Vocational and Entrepreneurial Education.
