When you're done with the online program you get a degree in the name of the University so How will they know if the degree was gotten online?

Cossette:
these online degrees offer a means for working adults to upgrade themselves. many people cant afford to stop work just to attend school full time, online degrees give them the necessary flexibility. many married mothers also have the time to take care of their kids and pursue a degree.
in the year 2015, education is going online and offering flexibility, almost every school in every country is looking at the online option to stay relevant. in Nigeria we are banning online degrees. very backward move from NUC. regulate, access and accredit the online schools

Those who run out of Nigeria for study outside this country are those looking for cheaper degrees. It is either they cannot pass the examinations or they do not possess the minimum entry qualifications.

1. So, for first degree, you will be asked to produce your NYSC discharged/exemption certificate.

NYSC does not mobilize and issue discharge/exemption certificates to graduates of institutions not recognized in Nigeria.

2. For higher degrees, your current employer already knows you were with them all through the period you claim to be studying while your prospective employer would ask you during interview if your program is online or residence. Your CV typically records your employment and educational history with dates anyway.

[size=13pt]The National Open University of Nigeria does the same thing you listed here.

That is the one acceptable in Nigeria for now. Adjust to it, sorry![/size]

Rubbbissh....

People discrediting online degrees esp genuine ones don't know what they r saying.... They are very good, very educating and the best for a distant learning.

Whats the point? Why not ban distance learning programs in Nigeria.

They should just focus on making better our education system in Nigeria so that we can at least make 999th position.

The rationale behind this nonsense is the fact that most people would prefer these programs than going to real lectures in Nigerian universities to face wicked, sadist lecturers and a harsh condition.

I have 5 certifications online.... wonderful skills acquired. I have never been this happy with learning. Oyibo sabi!!!!!

Make we move forward o Nigeria!!!!! Haba!

maestroz:
why then would NUC then accept open university certificate if online degrees are not allowed?

WhatDoYouMean:
There are so many people with Online Masters from good schools abroad. The policy of some UK universities is that you must have a two week physical contact time with the school in UK before returning to your home country to continue the online programme. I have issues with this NUC pronouncement.
1. Did they just realize about the online degree stuff now?
2. If they want to ban it, what will happen to those who long obtained theirs before this pronouncement?
3. With effect from what date (day, month and year) will this take effect (as it was not stated on the report)?
4. Would there be any penalty for those who have got good jobs with their online certs? If so, to what extent?

As for the Maryam Abacha University, I think NUC should find out what is obtainable in the country where the university is domiciled. I agree with them that certain professional courses are not supposed to be run on part-time basis.

In 2015, Banning online degrees, instead of REGULATING them, is just plain backwardness. Datsall.

Learn to read things properly before making comments. You have to be at the Uni physically at some point. Maybe go there to write your exam or some form of accessment. You cannot just stay in Nigeria and after 3 or 4 years you say you have degree from an American Uni for instance. That is their point.

philfrey08:
The certification I have online are business specialisation courses.

They expect me to go and pay 10million to go business schools.

Why not take different courses online that make up the business courses with less than a 100k with verfied certificates.
