Description
The quality of the products from teacher training institutions determines the pace of the nation's development. A cursory look at Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) graduates from colleges of education in Nigeria indicates that most of the certified graduates lack acceptable level of competence in their area of specialization. This paper examines the need to take cognizance of academic quality assurance practices in improving the quality of graduates of ECCE being turned out on yearly basis into the labour market from colleges of education in Nigeria.
