lastmessenger: As a student of the federal polytechnic nekede owerri, buying handout and notebook turned textbook was a normal thing.we couldnt do anything about it because those who earlier tried to resist the buying of textbook were either victimised or labelled bad boys.seeing how it is,we kept cool,prayed for the years to run fast so that we could graduate and that was exactly what happened. THE RAGE OF A WOMAN.... I planned on selling handouts When I eventually become a Lecturer, but after all this cursing and swearing, walahi I no go sell tuition seff, MY LECTURES WOULD BE FREE |

Prince Justice:There may be no 'open compulsion' but if a student refused to buy it hope he wont be penalised? I mean hope the lecturers wont 'fail' him? |

boay: Hello Nairalanders 1.It is not lawful for university lecturers to sell hadouts. Sadly our university libraries are bare...and do not have enough materials for students. Additionally, not every university has internet access. Finally, the fact that we run an economic system that is based on oil and not on innovation means that students enter universities just to get paper qualifications...which means just doing a course to pass it, not to learn from it. 2.I wonder....NANS cannot do anything about it. Has NANS shown any interest in how universities are funded.? 3.Simples. By improving funding for universities. By getting our economy from an oil dependent one into an innovative one...which would lead to students going to university to learn...not to get paper qualifications, and lecturers training students to solve problems, not just giving them notes to pass. 4.I graduated from ABU in 2006. During my time handouts were made illegal. Plus, I was a medical student.....our course is basically geared towards problem solving, so handouts may not be beneficial.....you have to understand what you are doing. In summary, i think that students have to learn to understand what they are doing, and learn how to solve problems....not just memorise and regurgitate facts so that they can get a degree, and then get a nice desk job. But then again, it involves an attitude change from the lectirers and the students......and well funded university facilities(which is a big part of the current ASUU strike), |

wellmax: That's why I love my Great Ife! No sale of handouts at all. Same in Nnamdi Azikiwe Univ, awka and nnewi campuses. A typical material is copied to a flash and the students collect the info from the course rep. |

I finished 4rm Auchi poly & in dat schul it's a must 4 u 2 pass atall. Even if u wan block d lecturer, d first question is if u've bought their handout or textbuks. |
Re: Nigerian Tertiary Institutions And Hand-outs by yemmit90: 8:53pm On Nov 11, 2013 |
@lastmessenger, it's a pity you gone through all these, how I wish I know all these lecturers and tell them to repent before it's too late for them. Next time, choose your school carefully. Throughout my days in OAU, except making of photocopy, I didn't spend a kobo buying the so called handouts. Infact my school fees is not up to what some people spent on handouts in the polytechnic. |
Re: Nigerian Tertiary Institutions And Hand-outs by Misterpaul(m): 8:54pm On Nov 11, 2013 |
I think compulsory sellin of hand-outs mostly happens in Polytechnics.In Universities its illegal, the lecture only gives the course rep materials for everybody to photocopy, if u like u photococopy, if u like no photocopy, dat one na ur own wahala nobody will fail or pass u cos of dat. |
Re: Nigerian Tertiary Institutions And Hand-outs by ajasa4link: 8:58pm On Nov 11, 2013 |
In Lasu it's illegal to sell handouts. As a student if u feel u need a textbook, u just go and get it at the bookshop without being compelled to do so. In fact,at times in my department we the students really wish our lecturers do publish handouts or textbooks. why? because insurance textbooks modelled in the way insurance is practised in Nigeria are hard to come by. for example textbooks for courses like insurance management, pensions and social security, insurance broking, economics of insurance etc are really hard to come by in Nigeria and if available are usually very expensive. But notwithstanding our lecturers are very helpful by getting.current journal articles, research papers and seminar paper on such topics and dropping it for us freely to study... God bless my departmental lecturers!. As for the lecturers that handled the faculty entrepreneurship course, NO COMMENTS for u |

boay: Well , I will start by saying that I don't have all the answers.....I am a doctor after all, not a university administrator! But here are my tips(apart from telling lecturers to stop pushing handouts on us! ) 1.NANS and individual student unions should get more universities connected to the internet. 2.Student unions should campaign for fully equipped libraries 3.Student unions should get their universities to be connected to the ATHENS system....explained in this WikiP article(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athens_access_and_identity_management). Finally, students should use what they are learning to solve problems.For instance, a political science student could get a group of fellow Pol Sci students and set up an NGO with the aim of voter education. An education student could volunteer to teach at the village primary school or at the adult education center. A theater arts student could organize a play for the neighborhood children, and so on. To sum up, students need to practice what they are learning out in their various local societies......and they need to read lots of books.... Like I said, my advice is not perfect.....but I think that it is not enough to tell lecturers to stop printing handouts......and then go back to empty libraries, and zero opportunities for practice |

Re: Nigerian Tertiary Institutions And Hand-outs by yemmit90: 10:41pm On Nov 11, 2013 |
boay: Let be sincere with ourselves, only school authority/ management can put an end to this shameful act by their lecturers. There's little or notting students, NAS, ASUP, even NUC and co can do about it. If any external body(NAS or NUC) compel them not to sell handout, the situate will turns to what someone described in page one "the wise ones knows the best thing to do". |
Re: Nigerian Tertiary Institutions And Hand-outs by BARRISTERDAN(m): 10:50pm On Nov 11, 2013 |
Thanks to God we don't experience that in Unizik. Am am a law student and we don't buy. Any material a Lecturer considers necessary is sent to the Class Rep who photocopies it for the class to rephotocopy. Our Lecturers know more than selling hand outs; they would be shown the back door. |

Great Ife in house, speak for ur department handouts,manuals, maaterials or anyoda name dey are disguised in, are sold in some departments. Sometimes optional and sometimes mandatory. For d books, SSC 111 and 112(foundation of psychology 1 and 2. Respectively) materials are sold to first year students. |

[quote author=boay]Hello Nairalanders It is not a subject of debate whether hand outs are being sold to students in some tertiary institutions in Nigeria. In my school(OAU), lectures dont sell hand out to students but they sometimes release material for the class representative to make photocopy so that other students can also do the same. NO COMPULSION I was very surprised when I listen to my friend from a polytechnic(FEDPOFFA) who narrated her ordeal about buying hand outs. According to her hand outs are means of passing exams automatically, atleast the lecturer will give you a pass mark if your name is among those who bought his/her hand outs. Here are my questions: 1. Is it lawful for lecturers to sell hand outs? If NO 2. What is NANS doing about it? 3. How can we fight against this? 4. What is the situation in your school. Kindly include the name. Thanks Hmm! |
