In Nigeria there is basically a lot of institution available today including the universities, polytechnics college of education and the rest, that is to prove that the educational system in the country is improving. One of the other choices are Specialised Institutions, and they are found in many states in Nigeria.
In this content, I will be giving light about monotechnic, the benefits, the area of specialisation, the list of specialised institutions in Nigeria, the benefits and also the admission requirement to study in the various schools under monotechnic.
What is a Monotechnic?
While other institution like universities polytechnics enrol students and specialize in different courses, monotechnic specialises in only one single course and one of its goals is to train students in specialized areas on different aspects including health and also agriculture, it is also there to help students who didn’t reach the admission requirement for universities and polytechnics.
It is basically divided into three sections which are, Health Technology Division, Specialized Institution Division and also the Agricultural Technology Division but in this content, I will focus on the specialized institution.
There is also a various specialized institution in Nigeria and it divided into three segments which are Science/Agricultural Programmes Section, Management Science Programmes Section and also Engineering\Environmental Programmes Section.
It also has a lot of benefits that will be given below
- It helps students who didn’t reach the admission requirement for universities and polytechnics
- It offers adequate training for specialized areas
Also, it has been proven that students that attend monotechnic also stands out among the crown in a certain area of specialisation like health and agriculture, so it is not really a bad choice to attend a monotechnic.
