Education and Arabic is taught under the Faculty of Education at The Federal University, Kashere (FUKASHERE). Arabic is required on all three routes and never has an alternative.
Everything around it is described as relevant subjects rather than named. Only the UTME stage narrows that to the Arts and Social Sciences.
Confirm that Education and Arabic appears on the current FUKASHERE course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
