The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday, commenced training of all administrative staff of tertiary institutions to keep them abreast of the workings of the Interactive e-Brochure and e-Syllabus System (IBASS).
The training which held at the six geo-political zones of the country, simultaneously had most of the Vice Chancellors, Provosts, Rectors and other administrative staff of tertiary institutions in attendance.
JAMB had recently announced full automation of its administration and other communication processes to all its stakeholders as a means of eliminating bureaucracy.
The policy which is expected to begin from January, 2023 came up after the Board reviewed the bottlenecks associated with communicating or interfacing with various institutions regarding admission processes.
From January, the board will refrain from receiving any physical letter from any institution or agency except through its Interactive e-Brochure and e-Syllabus System (IBASS).
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who declared the North Central Zonal workshop opened through a virtual conference at the College of Education, Federal Capital Territory, Zuba, Abuja, assured that correspondence between JAMB and individual institutions would be individualised, which meant that such communication would not be open to third parties like in the case of WhatsApp.
Welcoming participants to the North Central workshop, Dr Sule Mundi, Provost, College of Education, Zuba, lauded JAMB for innovations in its test system.
He said the new initiative would go a long way in further strengthening education in the country.
Oloyede while announcing the take off of the policy earlier, had explained that the automation of curriculum, accreditation and general administration matters among JAMB, regulatory agencies and Institutions will provide personalised services to the institutions and agencies as only JAMB and the institution will be able to see any communication on the platform.
The trainings were also held simultaneously in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria for the North West, Federal Polytechnic Bauchi for the North East, University of Ibadan, for the South West, University of Port-Harcout for the South South and University of Nigeria, Nsukka for South East.
