The establishment of the commission was the result of the utmost importance accorded to quality teacher education by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Since inception, the Commission has continuously pursued goals of quality assurance in teacher training. The pride of the commission is based on the seminal philosophy in the National Policy on Education (NAPE), which states that, “no education can rise above the quality of its teachers ….”

In pursuit of its objectives, the commission has adopted NEVS as part of its strategic focus for ensuring accuracy, reliability and non-falsification of its certificates and the digitalization of academic performances thereby strengthening the competence value of the Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) graduatesn
