8.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF THE PROGRAMME

8.1 The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which stresses the
need to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student, who so wish, to transfer the units already completed in an institution
of similar standard from which he is transferring.
8.2 In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted, thus making each of the professional modules,
when completed provides the student with technician operative skills, which can be used for employment purposes.
VIII
8.3 As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institution and industry, the Curriculum
content has been written in behavioural objectives, so that it is clear to all the expected performance of the student who successfully
completed some of the courses or the diplomates of the programme. There is a slight departure in the presentation of the performance based
curriculum which requires the conditions under which the performance is expected to be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels
of performance. It is a deliberate attempt to further involve the staff of the department teaching the programme to write their own curriculum
stating the conditions existing in their institution under which the performance can take place and follow that with the criteria for
determining an acceptable level of performance. The Academic Board of the institution may vet departmental submission on the final
curriculum. Our aim is to continue to see to it that a solid internal Evaluation system exist in each institution for ensuring minimum standard
and quality of education in the programmes offered throughout the polytechnic system.
8.4 The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated. Practical exercises, especially those in professional
courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the theory. For each course, there should be a balance of theory to
practice in the ratio of 50:50 or 60:40 or the reverse.
9.0 GUIDELINE OF SIWES PROGRAMME

For the smooth operation of the SIWES, the following guidelines shall apply:
9.1 Responsibility for placement of students
a) Institutions offering the ND programme shall arrange to place the students in industry by April 30 of each year, six copies of the list
showing where each student has been placed shall be submitted to the Executive Secretary, NBTE which shall in turn, authenticate the
list and forward it to the industrial training fund, Jos.
b) The placement Officer should discuss and agree with industry on the following:
i) A task inventory of what the students should be expected to experience during the period of attachment. It may be wise to adopt
the one already approved for each field.
ii) The industry-based supervisor of the students during the period, likewise the institution based supervisor
IX
It should be noted that the final grading of the student during the period of the attachment should be weighted more on the evaluation
by his industry-based supervisor
9.2 Evaluation of students during the SIWES
In the evaluation of the student, cognizance should be taken of the following items:
a) Punctuality
b) Attendance
c) General Attitude to Work
d) Respect for Authority
e) Interest in the Field/Technical area
f) Technical competence as a potential technician in his field
9.3 Grading of SIWES

To ensure uniformity of grading scales, the institution should ensure that the uniform grading of student‟s work, which has been agreed to by
polytechnics, is adopted.
9.4 The Institution Based Supervisor

The Institution-based supervisor should initiate the logbook during each visit. This will enable him to check and determine to what extent
the objective of the scheme are being met and to assist students having any problems regarding the specific assignments given to them by
their industry-based supervisor.
9.5 Frequency of Visit

Institution should ensure that students placed on attachment are visited within one month of their placement. Other visits shall be arranged
so that:
1) There is another visit six weeks after the first;
2) A final visit in the last month of the attachment.
X
9.6 Stipends for Students in SIWES

The rate of stipend payable shall be determined from time to time by the Federal Government after due consultation with the Federal
Ministry of Education, the Industrial Training Fund and the NBTE.
9.7 SIWES as a Component of the Curriculum

The completion of SIWES is important in the final determination of whether the student is successful in the programme or not. Failure in
the SIWES is an indication that the student has not shown sufficient interest in the field or has no potential to become a skilled technician in
his field. The SIWES should be graded on a fail or pass basis. Where a student has satisfied all other requirements but failed SIWES, he
may only be allowed to repeat another four months SIWES at his own expense.
