With these additions, CUSTECH will now offer a total of 38 courses for prospective students. Hudson emphasized the university’s dedication to providing comprehensive resources and support for the faculty of science and technology education.
“The faculty is provided with necessary resources, human and material, in line with set standards to train professional teachers for the secondary and technical schools in the State and the country in general,” she emphasized.
Highlighting the significance of secondary and technical education, Hudson stressed, “Secondary and technical institutions are the providers of the basic inputs into tertiary institutions. With the expansion of tertiary education in general, high-quality inputs into the institutions are in greater demand.”
