The initiative, led by the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, is part of the Renewed Hope Agenda aimed at fostering inclusive education as a key driver for national progress.
With this updated policy, the criteria for admission to universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and Innovation Enterprise Academies (IEAs) will be relaxed, allowing students applying for certain arts and humanities programs to forgo the math requirement.
Dr. Alausa noted that this change was essential after years of restrictions in the admission process.
