IPS WEEKEND SCHOOL

RATIONALE OF THE WEEKEND SCHOOL
The Institute of Professional Studies (IPS) recognizing the problems and difficulties many workers face on the existing Morning and Evening Schools has deemed it fitting and proper to introduce Weekend School with effect from August, 2009. Some of the problems faced by the working students included:

Late arrival to lectures
Physical and mental exhaustion by the time they arrive at lectures
High course load, etc

All these problems adversely affect their output and eventual performance on the programmes.
It is hoped that the introduction of the Weekend School will go a long way to address these problems faced by working students.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Weekend School are to:

Offer the existing mainstream Degree programmes to persons (especially workers) who do not find the lecture hours of the mainstream convenient.
Make IPS Degree programmes more accessible to a greater number of persons.
Make optimal use of the academic facilities of IPS.
