Abstract
The current study investigated the outlook of sandwich programmes from the lenses of students,
based on the acceptability of the programme, quality of the teaching and learning process as well
as the challenges sandwich students face. With a survey research design, 250 sandwich students
answered questions on the three constructs. At the end of the study, the researchers found evidence
that there were no significant differences in the acceptability of sandwich programme, quality of
sandwich programmes, challenges of sandwich students, based on gender as well as age. Males
and females as well as older and younger students provided similar responses. Secondly, there
was a significant difference in the three constructs, based on programme of study. Students
offering different programmes provided different information. Thirdly, out of the three constructs,
the challenges that sandwich students face had a significant difference in terms of their
employment status. Students who were employed and those who were not employed gave different
responses. Fourthly, there was a strong positive correlation among the three constructs. Finally,
age, quality of sandwich programmes, and challenges of sandwich student’s constructs were good
predictors of the acceptability of the sandwich programmes. The researchers recommend that
there should be a close look at the age of students, the quality of teaching and learning process,
and the challenges of sandwich students in order to determine the sustenance of sandwich
programmes.
