NIGERIA In addition to the above 4 Colleges of Education there were initially 23 others (institutions training teachers for basic eduction, ECD inclusive) until by 2010 the number increased to 86. This increase was a result of National Commission for Colleges of Education directives that all Colleges of [English] Education should be restructured into five schools namely-Schools of ECCE, Primary, Junior, Adult and Technology. This means more opportunities to admit ECD teachers and caregivers for 3 year training, increasing both the number and quality of ECD teachers and caregivers.
