What Is Your View On Education In Nigeria?
"They left Nigerian educational system to rot and send their children abroad to
school."
There's nothing joyous about politicians' children schooling abroad. Look at the
state of our primary and secondary schools in villages, these children are hardly
able to write letters at Senior classes, how would they pass JAMB? How would
they gain admission into the highly competitive universities, how will they ever read
professional courses that could land them a job after graduation?
Imagine if these people now go to NCES or Colleges of Education, and become
teachers? The cycle of poor education would continue.
Meanwhile, the best are supposed to be the ones to attend Teachers' Training colleges, so that they can raise good students, but now, mostly the deprived attend NCEs. I don't think anyone is feeling this pain, where people going to NCE are people with less qualifications, unlike in the past where those teachers who went to Teachers' Training colleges went because they wanted to be TEACHERS and
were very good at what they taught.
These teachers of present times often have poor trainings and are the people that would be handling the children of the poor, the vulnerable children in our public
schools, this means that the future is very blurry for the poor and vulnerable people and the rich would continue to be richer. We need to make Nigeria a country where people have equal education or at least with a gap not too wide.
Infanct, there's nothing to be proud about when a Nigerian graduated from whites
people's university. Can't we have our own MIT, Warwick, Harvard, Oxford? Must we always be longing to attend universities abroad and attach our pride to it?
Since when have we been seeing it as an achievement to graduate from universities
abroad? Is that how the African people would continue till the world ends? Attaching our Ego to ''abroad'', ''foreign''? Nah, something is not right. We also
deserve our universities to be an object of high achievement.
If you are a Nigerian who is passionate about developing our Nation, about the
welfare of vulnerable people, children, please join us in this discussion and let's hear
from you.
