ABOUT 

The TVC-NCE Programme was transferred to the Lagos State University (LASU) after its establishment in the year 1986. During the period, there existed a tripartite arrangement in which the Programme was funded and centrally administered by the Curriculum Division of the Lagos State Ministry of Education, and LASU with LACOED providing the Academic team for the Programme. The TVC-NCE Programme in LASU was managed by a TVC-NCE Board which was appointed by the Faculty of Education of Lagos State University with representations from the Curriculum Division of Lagos State Ministry of Education and Lagos State College of Education.

The establishment of the National Commission for the Colleges (NCCE) by decree No. 3 of 1989 dictated the return of the TVC-NCE Programme to Lagos State College of Education in 1991. In September 1991, the School of Part-Time Studies commenced operation with one thousand, two hundred and sixty-eight (1,268) NCE students. Out of this number, eight hundred and sixty-six (866) were transferred Students of the TVC-NCE Programme from the Lagos State University while four hundred and twenty (420) were admitted by the School of Part-Time Studies for the 100 level courses in that year.

The return of the TVC-NCE Programme to the Lagos State College of Education in 1991 witnessed a lot of changes in terms of its Administration and Academic Programmes. The Programme came under the Management of School of Part-Time Studies headed by a substantive Dean with complementary administrative and supporting staff. The return of the TVC-NCE Programme to the College in 1991 led to the birth of the 6th School in the Lagos State College of Education � The School of Part-Time Studies. The Part-Time NCE Programme advertisement, in that year, paved way for the inclusion of Teachers from the Private Schools and other qualified Secondary School Leavers in the admission exercise.

The School of Part-Time Studies became an integral unit of the Lagos State College of Education Ventures outfit, the LACOED Ventures Limited in 1994. Since then, the School has played prominent and leading roles in the development and sustenance of the LACOED Ventures Limited through her revenue generating activities. Statistical records available in the School show that between 1991 and 1998, the School admitted a total of one thousand, six hundred and seventy-one students (1,671) and graduated one thousand, one hundred and twenty-six (1,126) during the same period.    

The School of Part-Time Studies was established to provide academic opportunity for working class individuals in order to upgrade their educational status as well as providing readily available alternative for those who are unable to gain admission into the regular N.C.E Programme.

Over the last couple of years, the School of Part-Time Studies has been able to attract a sizeable pool of candidates from Private Schools in the State, as well as provide expertise and skills for Secondary Schools leavers that desire a career path in the teaching profession.

The School has in no little measure provided a steady flow of revenue into the College coffers through her aggressive admission drive, without compromising standards as stipulated by the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE).

The School currently runs a total of Ninety (90) courses across five schools viz the School of Primary Education, Science, Arts and Social Sciences, Vocational and Technical Education and Languages with a population of over Four Thousand (4,000) Students.

The School runs virtually all the NCE courses that exist in the full time programme but for four years. And also, strategic planning, budgets, curriculums, facilities and research are all handled by a Dean which is same as full time programme. Lectures are taken during the weekends and the courses are taught by the same set of lecturers handling full time NCE programme.
