Mcast is projecting itself as an institution of tertiary education with ambitions to confer degrees.

However, in a recent call for applications for posts of Mathematics lecturers, the main requirement at the top of the list was a “B.Ed. (Hons.) degree in Mathematics”.

The call did make a concession for “holders of other degrees specialising in Mathematics… but possession of the PGCE will be considered an asset”. This gives the incorrect impression that the B.Ed. “in Mathematics” is a degree specialising in Mathematics.

I cannot understand how Mcast intends to offer degree courses while employing lecturers who do not even have a first degree in the subject they teach.
