About
The School of Fine and Applied Arts began In Federal College of Education (Technical) Umunze during the 1992/93 academic session; it started with NCE Proqramme with three academic staff and twelve students. The school and all its activities took place in one classroom. In the L Hall of the temporary site and it’s surrounding. By 1994, the number of the academic staff increased to six. These pioneer staffs were versatile and dedicated. They worked tirelessly in continual improvement of the school. After the establishment in 1992/1993 academic session, the School had only two lecturers, Mr. Akabueze T. C and Mrs. Ubahakwu T.N as the pioneer lecturers. The two lecturers were teaching all the courses in the School of Fine and Applied until 1994. It was during the 1994 partial accreditation that three more lecturers were added to the staff (Mssr. Okpala O.E, Uchendu M.C. and Madu BA), During the first two years of establishment, School of Fine and Applied Arts had no lecture rooms but shared lecture rooms with the School of lndustrial Technical Education. Mr. Akabueze T. C took over from Rev. Emma Uchendu as the pioneer Dean 1994 till 1996 when the School finally moved into its permanent building with lecturer offices. None the less the pioneer Provost at the same time appointed two heads of departments. Mr. Okpala O. E was the first H.O.D for Applied Arts and Mr. Uchendu M. C was the fIrst H. O.D for Fine Art Before the School of Fine and Applied Arts had its full accreditation in 1996, the lecturers had increased to eight in number with lecturer offices provided. The support staff also increased to about 10 in number. During Dr. C. V. Nnaka’s administration the School also was given the second building which is currently accommodating ceramics and sculpture studios as well as three lecturer’s offices. As it is now, SFAA has thirteen lecturers, five are under Applied Art and the rest are under Fine Art, Art history and Art Education. In 1996, the school moved to its spacious new structure. As at that time, it had graduated its first set of students and about to graduate the second set. Since then the school had continued to flourish both academically and more areas of specialization included in the programme. Among the areas are painting, sculpture, art history, art education ceramics, graphics, computer graphics, photograph and multimedia.
The school has two departments namely Fine Arts and Applied Arts. All the sessions are under these departments each headed by a Head of Department. School of Fine and Applied Arts grew so rapidly that the current building is becoming too small for the activities of the School hence, the need to construct a larger complex for the school which will soon be realized.
The school was headed over the years as follows:
Rev. Emma Uchendu – 1992
T.C.P. Akabueze – 1992 – 1996
O. E. Okpala – 1996 – 1997

SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Dr. Obi, W. J. D.
Dean,
Industrial Technical Education
Welcome to the school of industrial technology Education where we power the engine of national development. Remember, no technology, no development
About
The School of Industrial Technical Education (SITE) was among the three schools which admitted the very first batch of students for the NCE programme in 1989/90 academic session. On 10th May 1990, the school commenced lectures with about 35 students for the 1989/90 session. Messrs. M. E. Ezebiakwa, R. N. C. Udu, E. J. Ezubelu, M. N. Esomonu, G. A. O. Ogalanya, and a few others were among the pioneer staff who saw these students through the 1989/90 academic session.
Prior to the establishment of the national commission for colleges of education (NCCE) by decree no. 3 of 1989, the job of superintending NCE technical teacher education was vested on the national board for technical education (NBTE).
Thus the only existing NCE technical teacher education curriculum in May 1990 was that patented under the auspices of the NBTE. However, not quite long after its establishment, the NCCE released the maiden issue of the minimum standards for NCE teachers which was a revised version of the NBTE syllabus.
A period of 3 years moratorium was given to colleges to switch over to the minimum standards. In pursuance of its primary statutory function, the NCCE paid a pre-accreditation visit to the college in 1992, while the actual accreditation exercise took place in April 1994.
Based on the maiden issue of the NCE minimum standards, students in the school of industrial technical education were allowed to specialize in only 4 trade areas. However, with the coming into effect of the revised minimum standards in November 1996, automobile technology education became the 5th distinct trade area in which students could specialize.
Thus, at present, the 5 trade areas in which students can specialize include:
• Automobile technology education
• Building technology education
• Electrical electronics education
• Mechanical/metalwork technology education, and
• Woodwork technology education
Technical drawing is a compulsory course for all students in the school of industrial education. Over the years, SITE has grown both in student population and infrastructural facilities. It must however be placed on record that the quantity and quality of tools and equipment procured for the school of industrial education in the last 18 months by far outnumbered those procured for the school in the first eight-year of its existence.
The school has from inception benefitted from the experiences and leadership skills of the following officers who served as deans.
They include:
Aguiyi, S. A -1990 – 1991
Ogalanya, G. A. O. – 1991 – 1992

The academic programmes of the school were among the college programme accredited in September 1999 and presented 42 students for the NCE final examinations in the 1999/2000 session. Although the staff strength has fluctuated over the years, the school now enjoys the services of 39 seasoned and dedicated academic staff, and 10 strong and hardworking support staff.

Education Management Policy
Man is a language and political animal. The secret of one’s intellectual and social success both in the university and outside university depends on one’s positive communicative competence. In fact, one’s perception and expression of reality depend on one’s knowledge of words to express them. A command of language will improve the process of one’s mind. It will give one assurance, build one’s confidence, lend colour to one’s personality and increases one’s popularity.
The School of Languages aims at assisting students to acquire positive communicative competence that promotes intelligibility.

Welcome to the School of Science
About
The School of Sciences came into existence in 1999 under the name: School of Computer and Science Education. By then, it comprised of three departments, namely: Science Education, Mathematics and Computer Education departments.
In compliance with the Academic Board directive in 2001, the Science Education department of the School was divided into three (3) departments: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Education. Students of the School combined their Science courses with Computer Science leading to the award of NCE in Computer Science with options in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. These programmes stated above were accredited by the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) in 2005 when Computer Studies and Physics Education were given partial accreditation. In 2007, the two courses were reaccredited and given full approval.
Integrated Science Education department was formally created under the School of Sciences in 2011. This department took off in the 2011/2012 Academic Session. In the same 2011/2012 Academic Session, a new department, Physical and Health Education was created and took off immediately. In addition, Geography Education was floated in 2018/2019 academic session. This brought the number of departments offering NCE Courses to eight as summarised below:
Mathematics Education 1999
Computer Science Education 1999
Biology Education 2001
Chemistry Education 2001
Physics Education 2001
Integrated Science Education 2011
Physical and Health Education 2011
