The Minister of Education yesterday during the conference to unveil activities marking 2015 Commonwealth Day Celebration, revealed that over 20 percent of candidates who sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) annually are unable to get admitted into universities.
According to the minister, this is as a result of the low carrying capacities of the various universities in the country.
He however, said the Federal Government had strengthened the Open and Distance Learning in line with the objective of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), which Nigeria was a major donor, to alleviate the problem.
According to him, the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), operating the ODL, had been at the vanguard of improving access and equity in Nigerian education sector, since its inception in 2003.
