The FCT Education Secretariat was created by virtue of Presidential Order No. 1 of 2004 as a Mandate Secretariat with the responsibility of formulation and implementation of policies on education in all its ramifications in the FCT.. The FCT Education Secretariat has the mandate of ensuring that education policies emanating from the Federal Ministry of Education are domesticated to the needs of FCT as they concern provision of access to education and effective delivery of the national school curriculum. Our mission is to assemble the perfect team and be the catalyst to inspire, incite and augment your existing technological environment for un-paralleled success. Consultec becomes your dream team by giving you and your employees new and unique avenues to success.

It is one of the seven Mandate Secretariats of FCT Administration created to replace the defunct Education Department of FCDA, which had existed from 1976 -2004.

The Secretariat oversees and monitors activities of the Departments, Boards and Agencies in the FCT Education Sector. It is located at Area 11 Garki Abuja, in the Minister's block.
