SchChat - School | College of Education, Azare

Descriptions

The Bauchi state government decided to establish an Advanced Teachers’ College at Azare, sometime in 1977, a little after the state was created out of the then North Eastern States. In 1976 there were only 18 post-primary institutions in the state. The government depended on teachers from other states as well as expatriate staff to run these institutions. This situation coupled with the introduction of the Universal Primary Education (UPE) necessitated the state government to sourced teachers for the institutions. Thus Advanced Teachers’ College Azare was established. The academic excellence and constant good performance of the College prompted the former Military Governor, Colonel Chris Abutu Garuba to upgrade the College to a College of Education in 1986. The College has Directorate of Pre-NCE and Remedial Studies. The College had started the undergraduate programme in affiliation with the University of Maiduguri in the 2009/2010 Academic Session. Nine (9) courses which include Agricultural Education, Chemistry, English, Health Education, Islamic Studies, Mathematics, Physical Education, Hausa and Physics are currently being run by the School of Undergraduate Studies. The ambition of College of Education, Azare is to be THE VERY BEST in the country.
