Preamble
The Faculty of Education is the largest and most populous Faculty in Cross River University of Technology. For that reason, its most noticeable predicament has been accommodation and space since it was transferred from Akampka to Calabar in 2008. In 2003, the solution to these problems began to manifest in the form of new three-story building which was allocated to the Faculty to accommodate some members of its staff. Another new block for the Faculty is under construction. These provisions will decongest its present cramped condition for the staff. The staffs offices are wearing a new look, thanks to a recent furnishing assistance from the University’s Management.
In terms of equipment, the Faculty has a Resource Room with e-library content. It also has a counseling laboratory. The Faculty of Education will always appreciate the efforts of the University’s Management, led by Professor A. OwanEnoh, in this direction.
