Facts About the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) PART 1 - NounNewsPortal
Good day my esteemed blog readers, welcome to my blog. Today, we will be talking about FACTS ABOUT THE NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA (NOUN). So many people have their different perception about the NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA, some are positive, and some are negative. Am a graduate of NOUN, computer Science (second class lower). Let me discuss a little bit about my experience in NOUN.
For me I will say NOUN is one of the best school in Nigeria when it comes to flexible education. The school is a work and learn school i.e. you can be going to work and learning at the same time OR we can call it an ODL school (Open Distance Learning School). They have different study centers in all the 36 states. My study center is Apapa Study Center (NAVY BASE).
I had a great time in the school, but the only challenge I faced, was during my clearance process and registration process. OMG! it was very hectic to get your matric number, do your clearance and payment of fees; but this is as at 2012. As at 2020, things began to change, good co-ordination, better educational structure and improved school portal. One of sweetest part of the school is that you can pause your education and continue when you are read; but it is not a good idea I must advice. Lets look at some common question asked by new student who want to enroll.
Is NOUN Government Approved?
Before we continue, lets look at some well known people that has graduated from the NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA. Here are some pictures below;
As you can see the picture has already said it all. National Open University of Nigeria is an FG approved University recognized by the NUC in 1976. The NUC, then headed by Prof. Jubril Aminu as the Executive Secretary (1975-1979) sent a Memo to the Federal Military Government suggesting that an autonomous Open University be established for Nigeria during the Fourth National Development Plan (1981-1985). This was accepted by the Federal Government and subsequently, the idea made its appearance in the National Policy on Education in 1977.
Do Noun Student Go For NYSC?
This question has been asked by so many student. and the answer is YES. NOUN now go for NYSC. As we all know that as a student, chances of you going for NYSC depends on your age. If you are between the age of 20 - 25, you are qualified to go for NYSC; but if you are within the age of 26 - 30. you will be given a exclusion letter.
The answer to this question is YES. NOUN certificate is recognized not only in Nigeria, it is recognized all over the world. Let me shock you ; do you know that if you are a NOUN graduate and you travel outside the country with their certificate, you dont need to do an extra 2 years of education in some college or whatever before you start working. Why is it so?
Since NOUN is a work and learn school, it is believed that graduates from the school has alot of working experience and just need little or no supervision to do their work unlike the fresh graduates from conventional universities.
