The Executive Secretary, National Commission for Colleges of Education, Prof. Mohammed Junaid, has said the urge to ensure quality of teachers being produced by the National Teachers’ Institute for the nation’s basic schools informed the body’s decision to embark on the monitoring and evaluation of NTI’s study centres across the country.
