The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) said it acknowledges the concerns raised by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) regarding the proposed outsourcing of quality assurance activities.

NBTE also said it appreciates ASUP’s commitment to maintaining high standards in regulating Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Nigeria.

However, the board said  it is important to clarify that the proposed framework is aimed at addressing the growing challenge of regulating an increasing number of institutions (over 800 and counting) under NBTE’s jurisdiction with less than 100 programme officers (staff of the NBTE).

“The outsourcing initiative approved by the Hon Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, is only for physical accreditation exercises over a period of time to enable those institutions with poor ICT infrastructure to upgrade and come on board the digital platform.

“This initiative only seeks to enhance efficiency, leverage external expertise, align with global best practices, and ensure timely accreditation and/or re-accreditation processes. The outsourcing model shall be for institutions that cannot log into our existing digital platform. It is structured to maintain transparency, avoid conflicts of interest, and uphold the integrity of the accreditation process.”

Giving further clarification in the statement issued by the board media Head Fatima Abubakar, she made it clear that the digital platform remains the mainstay for accreditation and quality assurance processes in the NBTE and is fully under the control of the Board.

“The Board remains open to constructive dialogue with stakeholders, including ASUP, to refine implementation strategies that align with the best interests of polytechnic education in Nigeria. It should be noted that just early this week, we had a stakeholders’ dialogue on this new initiative with Rectors and union leaders”.

The board said it would be looking forward to continued engagement with ASUP, other staff unions, and all key stakeholders to strengthen the regulatory framework of TVET institutions and ensure sustainable quality assurance mechanisms.
