Even as a University student, i believe you have no point. They may not have the professors that we have but i believe they are well equipped practically.

Call a 500L university student and a first year polytechnic student to castrate a cow or perform artificial insemination and see who performs better.

Let's not fool anyone, the OP is right. No young student ever plans to attend a polytechnic in Nigeria. There is a scramble for university and so the two major criteria are brain or money, therefore, the less intelligent ones are shoved aside and shared between polys. and the NCE.
So if your in a polytechnic your not intelligent enough, although you might be very brilliant: Find wisdom.

My point: students in the university schooling are more intelligent that ones undertaking the polytechnic education in general.

A polytechnic is less structured, organised and funded than a university, as anything may go in a polytechnic. After all if your so intelligent why aren't you in a university.
Btw, i attended a polytechnic for two years before i upgraded.

Even at that, Most employers now prefer those with HND and ND to those with degree because they believe the poly graduate will deliver almost same thing with his uni counterpart and his pay will b on the average

sevantex:

Have seen dullards in the universities. The same way have seen dullards in the polytechnic.

Remember all this boils down to the student in question. The student motivation towards learning, passion and knack for learning skill and upgrading of skills as well.

Nigerian Education to be candid is bleeped up. Last time I checked the world ranking. We are not among 1 - 4000.
Inadequate laboratories in both universities and polytechnic.
Even the syllabus are old compared to advanced countries universities

If a student is successful today it boils down to his hardwork, passion.

Show me a man good in his skill. He shall serve before kings.

And some folks up there saying unintelligent student reside in poly. Remember how untransparent admission in university are these days. Leverage counts as well.

Some poly student got above 200 but are in polytechnic due to circumstances.

Base less argument keep eroding nigerian precious time to invest in more lucrative discussion. I wonder how many of the people condemn polytechnic have actually been to one as they claimed, you all know next to nothing, experiencing a situation is different from hearsay. Life seems to be more complex than your shallow minds.

I am a poly undergraduate, proud to be one, had my IT in one of the best financial institution in Nigeria and I earn what I now use to further now.

Although, I didn't enter poly by choice, but circumstance pushed me there, I am far from being an average student and even with you bsc I bet you can't stand a chance amidst my clique.

Don't feel intimidated, those list are list of a shallow mind. Come to Moshood Abiola Polytechnic and I assure you that you will find lecturers with doctorate degree (Phd) and the ones that have been saddle to acquire theirs, also, the rector is a professor and not the only professor in the school.

Most successful professor today, including the ones I have been opportune to work with, claimed Polytechnic education laid the foundation for what they are.


I rarely comment on post, because am more engage in more lucrative activities than the ops, things like this don't catch my attention, but I realised that a lot of people claiming to know what transpires in polytechnic knows next to nothing, besides, they claim to have been there, is either they are never there or can't excel there and advice to redraw.

The last time I checked, I offer more difficult courses than my uni counterpart, well organised exams including CBT, and far higher school fee with a wide range of books (written by the polytechnic lecturers) to read from and acquire world class knowledge.

Ops, no offence, but I most conclude that you know next to nothing, do a proper research and if possible, experience a polytechnic education.

I wonder what the noise is all about? Leave everyone to chose what he/she thinks is best, I am responsible for my actions dear

Thanks

Bro God bless you for this. I also went to both Polytechnic and University and I can categorically tell you the practical they lay claim to is nothing but a hoax. I can't see anything special or so spectacular about the so called practicals we did in Polytechnic. When i got to Uni, i could remember raising this same issue with some other Polytechnic products but different institutions who also shared same view. Polytechnic education would have been what's originally intended for, but for lack of funding. Majority of their laboratories are ill-equipped with old Lab attendants who have failed to update themselves to the new generational syllabi and techniques. I was still in one of the polytechnics we have in d country few days ago. Believe me its an eyesore.
I know most Nigerians don't like TRUTH but DECEIT and anyone that speaks the truth is their enemy. Lets stop deceiving ourselves for once.

I must say that this post shows how jobless you are. I don't think a working class person who has been working all day and tired as a result of fatigue would have time posting this trash

If I may ask, why ranting against polytechnic education? With your so called Bsc, where did you park your private jet? What height have you attained in your life ? Which of the latest Ranger Rover Sport are you able to afford? How have you influenced the less privileged ones in your society? Can the people in your society look straight to you and say, " if not for you"

I have a friend who's not so educated,
I so much envy that dude, he's very very creative and doing fine in his business. People are busy striving to meet their daily needs and that of their siblings, some people are busy claiming superiority

OP you better start doing something meaningful with your life and start seeing your Bsc as a bo.nus because the adoration and appraisal of your Bsc is the beginning of the joblessness and poverty and if you think your Bsc is an automatic passport to winning the race of life, why not continue and stop giving yourself unnecessary worry

I have attend both but in life your output determines your level of success in life, forget certificate I have seen polytechnic graduates performing better than their university mates. Education is to enrich our knowledge and certificate is an evidence of your time and performance in school, the day we start thinking beyond certificate unemployment will reduce because we will invest our time into productive things rather comparing certificates
