This obvious importance of education to national, societal and personal development is the motivating factor behind the philosophy and goals of education in Nigeria. The three major systems of education in Nigeria are primary, secondary and tertiary education (World Education Services, 2017). Colleges of Education fall under the tertiary education system.
