Corona College of Education, CCED, Lagos, has matriculated a total number of 200 students who have been admitted to the various programmes of the college for the 2020/2021 academic session.
Matriculation signals the formal admission of students into higher institutions, without which students would still be regarded as ad-hoc rather than full-time.
The Provost, Corona College Of Education, Olajumoke Mekiliuwa, disclosed this during the hybrid event combining both the onsite and the online students matriculation /oath taking ceremony held at the ceremonial building of the College.
She stressed that CCED offerred a variety of programmes at the NCE/PDE Levels which were duly and fully accredited by the necessary supervisory and regulatory bodies.

“To achieve this goal, our fresh students must strive at all times not to compromise excellence and they must also avail themselves of the various programmes/events/activities provided by the college from time to time.
