The University of Ilesa in Osun State has officially announced that all programmes within its Faculty of Education will be tuition-free from 100 level through to graduation, beginning with the 2024/2025 academic session.
Students enrolling in these programmes will only be required to cover minimal and affordable incidental charges.
This groundbreaking decision was made by the university management to address the significant decline in enrollment within the Faculty of Education and to prevent the teaching profession from fading into obscurity.
