In Osun State, the Federal College of Education (FCE) Iwo has thrown open its gates for the 2025/2026 academic session, but this is no ordinary admission drive. The institution is pushing a bold vision that fuses technology with entrepreneurship, reshaping how future teachers are trained in Nigeria.
Unlike traditional colleges that simply churn out classroom instructors, FCE Iwo is positioning its students as educators who can also innovate, create jobs, and thrive in a digital-first economy. The registrar, M.A. Yusuff, explained that the refreshed curriculum is designed to produce graduates who are as comfortable navigating ICT tools as they are handling chalk and lesson notes.
Programmes with a Broader Purpose
The college is offering a wide spectrum of courses that stretch across sciences, arts, business, and vocational fields. Options include Agricultural Education, Business Education, Computer Science combinations, Home Economics, English, Yoruba, Religious Studies, and more. Beyond the single-subject majors, students can explore double majors such as Early Childhood Education, Social Studies, and Integrated Science, as well as creative combinations like English/Economics, Computer Science/Biology, and Yoruba/English.
This flexibility, the management noted, ensures that learners not only pursue their passions but also gain skills that align with Nigeria’s development priorities.
Who Can Apply?
To qualify, applicants need five credit passes in key subjects from WAEC, NECO, or equivalent exams, alongside a minimum UTME score of 100. Once eligible, candidates must switch their institution of choice to FCE Iwo via the JAMB portal, then head over to the school’s official admission site — portal.fceiwo.edu.ng — to complete the registration.
Support Beyond Admission
The school is also keen on making the process stress-free. Dedicated phone lines and active social media handles ensure applicants have quick access to support. “We are building a responsive communication system for students and parents,” the management stressed, pointing to its Instagram/Twitter handle @FCEIwo_official and email support channel.
What Makes FCE Iwo Stand Out
Every admitted student will undergo compulsory ICT training, regardless of course, ensuring that digital literacy becomes a shared foundation. Paired with entrepreneurship modules, the system equips graduates to either excel in teaching or build enterprises of their own. Education analysts have already hailed this model as a timely solution to outdated teaching practices and the growing problem of graduate unemployment.
A Future-Ready College
As the admission window opens, FCE Iwo is reaffirming its pledge to create a vibrant learning culture where innovation, discipline, and relevance thrive. For parents, it is an assurance that their wards will graduate with more than just teaching certificates — they will carry practical skills that prepare them for the complexities of today’s economy.
With this vision, FCE Iwo is not just filling classrooms; it is shaping a generation of educators who can redefine the nation’s future.
