FOREWORD
The Higher National Diploma in PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION curriculum is designed to be used by training institutions to produce
manpower development the public sector and related industry nationwide.
The need for professionally-trained manpower in this industry in Nigeria as well as to produce professional practitioners with
good ethics and career progression, through the acquisition of desirable knowledge and skills, necessitated the production of
this national curriculum.
It is my belief that this curriculum and course specifications which is the minimum required to produce practitioners with sound
knowledge and skills in public administration, if properly implemented with the required resources (qualified teaching staff in
adequate number and mix, adequate consumables, training materials, teaching aids), and qualified candidates are admitted
into the programme will lead to the production of competent and skilled practitioners required in the sector.
I wish to express my deep appreciation to those that made the review of this curriculum possible more especially the resource
persons for their full participation and funding. The invaluable contributions of all other members of the committee during the
national review workshop are also appreciated.
I hope that the curriculum would be properly implemented, so as to produce the required workforce of our dream.
Prof. Idris M. Bugaje,

Executive Secretary,

6.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF THE PROGRAMME
6.1 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.
6.2 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.
6.3 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.
6.4 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.
7.0 GUIDELINE OF SIWES PROGRAMME

For the smooth operation of the SIWES, the following guidelines shall apply:
7.1 Responsibility for placement of students
10
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
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
7.2 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
11
7.3 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.
7.4 The Institution Based Supervisor

The Institution-based supervisor should initiate the log book during each visit. This will enable him to check and
determine to 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.
7.5 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.
7.7 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.
7.8 SIWES as a Component of the Curriculum
12
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.

11.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS
180
11.1 The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which
stress the need to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who so wishes to transfer the units already
completed in an institution of similar standard from which he/she is transferring.
11.2 In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted, and each of the professional modules,
when completed provides the student with technologist operative skills, which can be used for employment purposes or self-
reliance.
11.3 As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institutions and industry, the
curriculum content has been written in behavioral 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. This is 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 performance
can take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an acceptance 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 exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standard and quality of education in
the programmes offered throughout the Polytechnic system.
11.4 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 practical in the ratio of 50:50 or 60:40 or the reverse.
12.0 PRACTICAL LOGBOOK
A personal Logbook to be kept by each student shall contain all the day-to-day, weekly summary, and semester summary of all
the practical activities from day one to the end of the programme. This is to be checked, marked, endorsed and recorded by the
lecturers/technologists concerned at the end of every week.
13.0 FINAL YEAR PROJECT
Final year students in this programme are expected to carry out a project work. This could be on individual basis or group work
of not more than two students per group, but reporting must be undertaken individually. The project should, as much as possible
181
incorporate basic elements of design, drawing and complete fabrication of a marketable item or something that can be put to use.
Project reports should be well presented and should be properly supervised.
The departments should make their own arrangement of schedules for project work.
14.0 MANDATORY SKILLS QUALIFICATION (MSQ) FOR HIGHER NATIONAL DIPLOMA (HND) PROGRAMMES
MSQ is a four (4) credit unit course spanning across two semesters of a programme totaling (8) which requires the student to
Learn a hands-on skill qualification either relevant or related to his/her area of study.
It is mandatory for HND graduates to acquire certification from appropriate awarding body of Nigerian Skills Qualification or
Any equivalent proprietary bodies. This policy of the Board requires that student should not be allowed to graduate without
Obtaining certification in the skill area they chose as a compulsory graduating requirement.
The MSQ is aimed to add value to all TVET graduates towards dual certification by way of obtaining a HND certificate and
Additional skills qualification to meet local and global demand for skilled labour.
