Lastly, it is advisable that program scale be upgraded. Our analysis found that in general college of education were able to provide more courses than departments of education and even more so than a single teacher education program. This is especially true with non-normal universities, when equipped with a comprehensive college of education, tend to provide a larger number of diversified courses to their students.
Since scale and resources matter, upgrading of the scale is important to improve program diversity and autonomy.
