Accredits and licenses TVET institutions that meet standards for governance, staffing, curricula, workshops, equipment, safety, quality assurance and industry linkages. Applicants submit institutional profiles, financials, programme lists, facilities inventories and staff qualifications. External evaluation teams conduct site visits, verify compliance and issue conditions or improvement plans. Accredited institutions receive certificates with scope and validity periods and are listed in official registries. Ongoing monitoring covers learner outcomes, tracer studies and instructor development. Non-compliance triggers warnings, probation, or licence suspension. Reaccreditation requires evidence of continuous improvement.
Technical & Vocational Education & Training (TVET)
Admits learners to competency-based TVET programmes in priority trades. Applicants submit academic records, IDs, health fitness (if applicable) and, for apprenticeships, employer placement letters. Institutions assess aptitude, verify prerequisites and place trainees into levels. Training plans, safety briefings and practical schedules are issued. Enrolment creates trainee records in the TVET MIS, supports stipend or bursary processing and links trainees to workshops or industry placements. Special provisions exist for women and disadvantaged groups. Completion pathways lead to COC assessment. Complaints and transfers follow regional TVET authority procedures.
Reviews and approves curricula to ensure alignment with national learning competencies, language policy, assessment standards and age appropriateness. Providers submit syllabi, learning outcomes, scope and sequence, instructional materials, assessment frameworks and teacher development plans. Expert panels evaluate relevance, inclusivity, gender responsiveness and integration of digital literacy and life skills. Recommendations may require revision cycles before endorsement. Approved curricula are gazetted or communicated to stakeholders with implementation guidance and monitoring indicators. Post-implementation reviews assess learning outcomes and feedback from teachers, parents and learners to drive continuous improvement and adaptation.
Registers and licenses early childhood centres and preschools to operate in compliance with national standards for safety, staffing, curriculum and child protection. Providers submit applications, building layout, hygiene/sanitation certificates, teacher qualifications, child-to-staff ratios and proof of ownership/lease. Government inspectors verify premises, learning/play materials, nutritional practices and emergency readiness. Upon approval, a licence is issued with validity periods and compliance conditions. Centres must display their licence publicly, maintain enrolment records, adhere to reporting requirements, and undergo periodic re-inspection. Non-compliance may trigger corrective actions, fines, or suspension until rectification.
Publishes official results for national assessments via secure portals, SMS services and school notices. NEAEA validates scripts, performs moderation and standard setting, and resolves irregularities before release. Candidates authenticate using index or candidate numbers and personal identifiers. The service may provide detailed subject scores, grade profiles and eligibility flags for progression or remedial support. Result slips and verification letters are downloadable or collected from schools. Discrepancies can be addressed through formal remarking or appeals processes within set timelines. Data are synchronised with tertiary admission systems to support placement decisions.

Parents/guardians submit a birth certificate or age verification, immunisation card (where required), proof of residence and previous school records for transfers. Schools validate eligibility, conduct placement, issue learner identification numbers and update Education Management Information Systems. Priority is given to catchment-area residents and vulnerable learners per policy. The process includes orientation on school rules, health and safety, and parental engagement. Successful enrolment results in class assignment, timetable allocation and access to textbooks or digital resources. Appeals follow district education office procedures.
Grants operating licences to private schools that meet statutory standards on governance, infrastructure, safety, staffing, curriculum delivery and financial probity. Applicants submit ownership documents, leadership credentials, building plans, health and fire clearances, teacher lists, fee schedules and safeguarding policies.

Licensed schools must participate in EMIS, comply with curriculum and examination requirements, maintain inclusive admissions practices and renew licences periodically. Non-compliance triggers sanctions or suspension. Appeals and variation of conditions follow administrative procedures under education regulations.
