The training, called "Intensive stakeholder training on curriculum, accreditation, and general administration matters," was made for vice chancellors, rectors, provosts, registrars, admissions officers, and other stakeholders.
Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the registrar of JAMB, opened the training in Enugu and said that the participants would be able to learn about the programmes and policies that are meant to improve communication between the board, NUC, NABTEB, regulatory bodies, and tertiary institutions.
Oloyede, who attended the meeting via Zoom, said that the training would teach institutions and regulatory agencies how to use the Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS) and Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) platforms.
He said that the commission is committed to making it easier to get into tertiary schools and stopping wrongdoing in all of the country's education sectors.
So, he told the institutions to use the platforms. He also said that the platforms have made it easier for key players in the sector to talk to each other.
"The goal of the training was to give you information about the board's new projects." The goals of the programmes are to make it easier to get in and to make the school feel more like a home. He said, "We made CAPS so that tertiary institutions, regulatory boards, and JAMB can work together well and make sure there are no gaps in the admissions process and course accreditation."
As the south-east zonal director of JAMB, Mrs. Ebere Okeke also said that the training was meant to make the process of getting into college in Nigeria faster, shorter, and more organised.
"The commission works well with NABTEB, the NCC, and other bodies and institutions in charge of rules and regulations." We are now all on the same platform, so any information the admissions office gets, the VC, regulatory bodies, and JAMB will also get.
"The Central Admission Processing System, or CAPS, was made to help the board and registrars of institutions share information and talk to each other better. It was also made to fill in the communication gaps that used to exist between the regulatory bodies, the board, and the institutions.
Earlier, in a welcome speech, Prof. Charles Igwe, Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, praised Jamb for taking the initiative. He also said that Jamb has always been at the forefront of digitising processes in the education sector.
He told the group of people who had a stake in the programme that they were working for its success.
Most of the people there were vice chancellors, rectors, provosts, registrars, and admissions officers from the five states in the zone. These states were Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, and Imo.
