The realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) can be attained faster by fortification of literacy at the grass root education system in the country - the Primary education. NCE teachers are trained in order to acquire the skills necessary for the achievement of objectives of primary education vis-a-vis the Millennium Development Goals. This paper studied the achievement of students in teaching practice. It specifically compared the teaching practice achievement scores of students in various departments to find out if subject specialization has effect on student's acquisition of teaching practice skills. The teaching practice results of the final year students in the different schools and departments in the Federal College of Education (Technical), Umunze for the years 2004 - 2008 were collated and analyzed. The Duncan text analysis shows that there is significant difference in the mean achievement of students in some departments of the college in teaching practice at 0.05 significant levels. The reasons for the disparity were sought and strategies for improvement were adduced which includes stress on the importance of good knowledge of education and methodology courses to students before, during and after the teaching practice programme for achievement of Millennium Development Goals.
