The Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo will during its 16th convocation ceremony graduate a total of 12,753 regular and part-time students.
This was made known by the provost of the institution, Dr. Emmanuel Adeniyi, during a press briefing ahead of the convocation.
The number includes 79 post-graduate students and 51 students of Advanced Certificate in Education.
While commenting on the problem of unemployment in the country, the provost said we must bring back and re-invigorate the technical education system if we must find solutions to graduate unemployment in the country.
“Every student must learn a vocational skill because this is the only way to make graduates to be self-employed, reliant and sufficient after leaving the school. We have heard of problems relating to funding but the government can assist these young graduates with loans without attaching stringent collateral to them. Each school should also be linked to an industry that will need the services of the graduates.” He said
