The Federal
Government has inaugurated an inter- ministerial technical review
committee on the contents and curriculum of the Higher National Diploma
Programme. The committee has two weeks to
submit its recommendations.
Inaugurating the committee today in Abuja,
Supervising Minister of Education, Nyson Wike explained that the effort was one
of the demands of the striking polytechnic workers and to bridge the gap
between university degree and higher national diploma.
The current practice in the nation’s
civil service forbids HND holders from rising above level fourteen, while
University degree holders can progress to level seventeen
Similarly, polytechnic graduates are
engaged in the public service from level seven, while university degree holders
begin form level eight.
