• The Faculty was grooming young and energetic graduate students to become lecturers in future to help reduce the problem of inadequate teaching staff in the Faculty.

• Work on the new Faculty Lecture Theatre Complex is progressing steadily and part of it is being used for lectures.

PROBLEMS
Major problems that confronted the Faculty were:

• Lack of adequate teaching staff as some of them still handled large number of students and courses.

• Lack of infrastructure such as laboratories and seminar rooms to promote a congenial academic atmosphere.

• Lack of adequate vehicles for the efficient running of outreach programmes as well as the day to day administration of the Faculty.

FUTURE PLANS

• To address the problem of shortage of teaching staff by grooming young and energetic graduate students and by the drive to recruit more teaching staff.

• To deal with the problem of infrastructure by completing the construction of the New Lecture Theatre Complex.

• Plans are far advanced to acquire a number of vehicles to address the issue of insufficient vehicles

• The Faculty hopes to become a “College of Education” in future with the view to diversify its programmes, roles and functions.
