Our Debate

 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.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
