The Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech), has said that Flexible
Skills Development (FSD) and its compeer, Flexible and Blended Learning
(FaB) have become mandatory guides for lecturers and researchers in the
institution as part of efforts to produce more entrepreneurs among its
students.
Yabatech Rector, Dr. Margaret Ladipo said during a workshop for
principal officers, deans of schools, heads of service units and heads
of academic units that all lecturers and researchers should embrace key
technology capable of bringing about more flexibility into technical and
vocational skills development.
The workshop, she said was a follow-up to an earlier one organized by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) in conjunction with the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, which was attended by `10 polytechnics from Ghana and selected polytechnics from the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria.
According to her, the FSD and FaB were new approaches to learning adapted from the classical open and distance learning methodology, initiated by COL and Commonwealth Association of Polytechnics (CAPA).
The objective of the new methodology, she said, was to build capacity in the use of educational media and Information and Communication Technologies for effective and flexible delivery of Technical and Vocational Education teaching and learning in CAPA member institutions.
Ladipo charged the participants to develop sufficient passion and commitment to innovative approaches, promising that the management will work towards an eventual success and ensure FSD and FaB methods are embraced in the College.
She commended the Yabatech UNEVOC Centre for continuing to make its impact felt positively in the College through educational programmes it designed, for initiating the workshop.
Delivering their papers, the workshop facilitators which included the Deputy Rector (ACAD), Mr. Innocent Akwuemonkhan, Deputy Rector (Admin), Dr. Moroof Adebakin, Director, Academic Planning Unit, Mr Uduak Inyang Udo and Coordinator, UNEVOC Centre, Dr. Funmi Doherty charged the participants to brace up for change in TVET triggered delivery so that they could impart students positively and effectively in their chosen fields.
