BRIEF
HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND PLANNING (THE
HOSTING DEPARTMENT) In
the 1977/78 sessions the Department of Education was detached from the Faculty
of Arts to form Faculty of Education. The new Faculty started with two
Departments namely Curriculum and Teaching and Adult and Continuing Education.
The present Department of Educational Administration and Planning featured under
Curriculum and Teaching. The
early Educational Administration lecturers were Prof. T. N. Ekpo, Mrs. Terese
Ndonjko and Dr. D. O. Enyia. They taught few administration curses in the
Department and the Faculty generally. In the 1981/82 session a new department
was created out of Curriculum and Teaching named Educational Foundations and
Administration. The creation of this department gave wider spectrum to the study
and teaching of Educational Administration and Planning. The
challenges posed by this development led to the recruitment of more staff namely
Prof. D. A. Edem, Dr. (Mrs) S. E. Etuk, Dr. P. J. Ntukidem and Dr. S. J. Okure
at about this time too. The high level staffing, occasioned the commencements of
higher degrees undertaken in Educational Administration and Planning. The
Department further enjoyed a boost in the 1997/98 session when she carved out of
the Educational Foundation and Administration Department. This new status led to
the recruitment of Dr. S. J. A. Mgbekem, Dr. C. P. Akpan, Mr. James E. Okon, Mr.
John Undie and Dr. U. U. Bassey respectively to meet up with the phenomenal
growth in the student enrolment at both graduate and undergraduate levels. The
2001/2002 and 2002/2003 witnessed inter-departmental transfer of Mrs. Lucy Udida,
Mrs. Mary Sule and Dr. (Mrs) Grace Mbipom to the department. The Department now
undertakes both Bachelors and Post graduate degree programmes in Educational
Administration. At the Post-graduate level students are expected to specialize
in any of the following areas: 1.
Educational Administration and Planning. 2.
Educational Administration and Supervision 3.
Administration of high Education. 4.
Economics and Politics of Education.
