I think INTROVERT has secured a job for herself. She is no more making FTC these days

,u dey see wetin i dey see

Society: A section of the country placed emphasis on paper qualification for employment purpose, and that gave them advantage over others. Now other sections have caught up. Everybody is trying to outdo the other to have the advantage. Secondly, most people just need the paper for fulfilment of all righteousness. How? They already have jobs; it is only the paper qualification that is outstanding. So no matter how by hook or crook the paper qualification is gotten, the knowledge is not important.

Parents: My parents used to check my books at random times. Sometimes they would check and question me based on the contents. Also, it wasn’t out of place for teachers to invite parents to school to discuss poor performance of their kids/wards.

Schools: The private schools are established primarily for business. What obtains now is, if the schools don’t help their students to cheat parents would not register their wards in such schools. The cheating schools have more students which translates to more income for the school owner. Rivers State, Port Harcourt to be precise, those attending private schools were perceived to be educationally dull. Interschool debates were normally won by students from government primary schools and quiz was won by government secondary schools. When Banham Methodist Memorial Primary School, St Mary’s, St Cyprian, Salvation Army, Port Harcourt Township Primary School, St Andrew’s, etc. are there which private school wants to get close to the prize. Stella Marris College, Baptist High School, Government Comprehensive Secondary School, Holy Rosary, Girls Secondary School-Harbour Road, Elelenwo, Obio-Akpo, Government Secondary School, Enitonna High School, etc. which private secondary school wants to try them. If you are not a student of these governments secondary schools up to the early 90’s you are seen as a dullard.

Exam bodies: Where the exam bodies got it wrong was when they started setting A-level questions for students studying O-Level syllabus. The outcome was mass failure. Surprisingly, instead of reviewing the questions in line with the syllabus, they resorted to setting cheap questions to enable students pass.

Teachers: The problem of teachers started when the emphasis on certificates was introduced into the primary school teacher recruitment process. All the experienced old teachers were forced to go for further studies and those who couldn’t due to age and financial constraints were retrenched. New teachers were recruited because they had the requisite qualification, NCE or B.Ed. Meanwhile these are not career teachers, but people who couldn’t get admission the university or their course of choice. The zeal and passion is not in them. They are unfortunate people who found themselves in the teaching profession.

Students: The students don’t bother because the end justifies the means. I know people who didn’t bother to register for Jamb to further their studies in the higher institutions because they couldn’t meet up academically. It would surprise you that most of them are better than some present generation graduates.

In addition: The school syllabus was revised, which rushed the students. It was assumed that all primary school age students had completed or should have completed nursery school. This happened when the new generation of NCE/B.Ed teachers were employed so they revised the books to reflect unrealistic things. Eg. Mathematics topics that were meant for secondary school students were now being taught in primary 4. Imagine pupils in Primary 1 being asked 1 + X = 5. Not all students are smart to understand these type of mathematics. This reflected in all subjects, and most of the children couldn’t cope at that tender age. Algebra was never taught in primary school during my time.

My conclusion:
1. Emphasis to be placed on knowledge, not paper qualification.
2. Parents to be more involved in the child/ward education, not just finance.
3. Teachers to be trained and only those who have a passion for teaching should be employed to teach. Also new teachers should be
interned with an experience teacher for at least a year to learn from him/her.
4. Examination bodies should set exams in line with the syllabus.
5. Universities should go back to the old system of waff-ing massive failures at the 100 and 200 levels.
6. Teach primary school students the basics and leave the complex for secondary schools and universities.

Recently .... according to research they is a global decline in the standard of education

Fashola tried for education in Lagos state,,in terms of infrastructure and others..

How can someone who scored 14% (2,000 government schools out of 14,000) i.e. a FAILURE be described as "tried for education"?

Why do we allow these leaders treat us like we are StinkingShit

The 36 state governors who are constitutionally responsible for secondary education need to be castrated all of them.

Special treatment should be reserved for ex-Kano governor Kwakwanso who built $1 billion school in Niger Republic while almajiris continue to roam the streets of his state.
Another candidate for special punishment is Fashola who is a smooth operator cum talker but EMPTY in delivery to the people.

If I am not mistaken the Eko Project is the $90 million loan from the World Bank that Fashola did not want to disclose how it was spent because "FoI does not apply to Lagos state"

Rochas needs the special treatment most!!

I think one of the solution to this will be for rich people/ cooperate bodies or even individuals to partner with others when needed and exhibit the initiative ' adopt a school'

If you think no school in Nigeria still asks students to repeat classes, then you need to visit Ota Total Academy in Ota, Ogun State where students even in kg classes are asked to repeat if they don't do well. The school excels in all arrears and abhors exam malpractices like shit.

okay,no problem,,
I don't know anything about the education system of other states but If I am to talk about fashola's achievements,I will vouch for education. The infrastructure of some state schools will give some private schools a run for their money..and its free:: textbooks&waec fee, except for buying of uniforms,notebooks &PTA fee.

May God bless you with this post. If care is not taken we will have unqualified workers in all spheres of our society,but as for me and my house hold we will strive to be the best we can be.

What I can only say Is that there is too much public holiday-mid-term break,teachers hardly give take home assignment this days compared to few years ago!anyway lagos is still leading

The person you are quoting is only interested in bashing the govt and never propagating any solutions, they are the political resident e-warriors of Nairaland its always about politics for them

breakingbad:
Fellow Nigerians have you observed that Education is in a very sharp decline in our country? Visit a regular secondary school in your neighborhood and you will observe that our education is in shambles. I am neither a brainiac nor an Albert Einstein but I can proudly say in my time education was in a far better shape.

In our time many students wrote WAEC and JAMB without assistance and still had reasonable results but today "Miracle Centre" is the order of the day. Secondary School Students of today jumble tenses, spell woefully and show just little traces of intelligence. One would think that in this computerized world, with even toddlers having access to browsing phones, information at our fingertips and access to google, wikipedia and tonnes of educational materials, there would be an increase in the intellect but sadly, reverse is the case. Social media such as 2go, whatsapp etc have even worsened the basic spell-ability of our youth.

You don't need to go far, check out comments of fellow nairalanders and you'll get a glimpse of this anomaly. Is it that aridity is now our societal norm? God forbid. The question is who is to blame?

1. Society: The Nigerian Society emphasizes more on paper qualification (Machiavellian end-justifies-means) than ability necessitating parents to enrol their children in Miracle centres. Educational competition prize money can be as "high" as 100,000 while Big Brother Africa can earn you N10,000,000. Please where is the encouragement?

2. Parents: Parents have little to no interest in their children academic performance. Some even force the school to "jump classes" for their children to finish quickly

3. Schools: I believe our schools (esp private schools) carry a very large chunk of the blame as they directly/indirectly condoned student's indolence, indiscipline and lackadaisical attitude to studies. Have any of you heard of any students repeat of late? Repeating classes is now "old school"

4. Exam bodies: Exam bodies are co-conspirators in this crime. They not only turn a blind eye on malpractices, they reduce their standard. Checkout WAEC questions of today, very cheap. I faintly remember once when Jamb cut off mark for medical students was 270 but now....

5. Teachers: Let's face it even the teachers of today are not as intellectual as the teachers of old. Many teachers today are just teaching to pass time till they get better jobs. Some are quite intelligent but are not trained to impart knowledge.

6. Students: I believe most students do not know the enormity of their actions YET else they would sit up but I think society at large is to blame because we are products of the society we live in.

Please nairalanders what do you think should be done to curb this unfortunate condition of our educational system in Nigeria?

And, you've been watching breaking bad?.

The truth is education is dead, not only in Nigeria but in many African nations. That's what you get when our elites send their children to study abroad because they careless about our schools. I'm just writing an article on similar topic. Something must have to change, pretty soon.

Should you know of any angel investor interested in changing education in Africa, have them get in touch with me.

Lol, @ resident e-warriors,, He just made a mistake,it was a Misinterpretation...... but I don't think he's like those e-warriors because some of them type so much rubbish that I just delete their posts instead of arguing.

First off the pay for teachers these days is so sickening, most private schools pay from 10k to 15k as start up pay especially in the east(that I'm sure of) even one stupid indian owned school in onitsha pays the same amount now tell me where the motivation to fully instill knowledge will come from





Education is all business now,the schools are only interested in making money and keeping up the reputation of the schools


Making education free as has been done in most states is commendable but when you pay a teacher peanuts for teaching over a 100 students and 2 sometimes 3 classes then there is not enough motivation, besides teaching jobs nowadays is just a stop-gap for most youths till a better offer comes up


In all i think the govt have to make teaching a lot more attractive if not all you get is wack teachers all over the place, also regulation of licenses to these private schools needs to be looked into, so many miracle centres abound in this country



As much as parents have their own parts to play, i honestly believe its the teachers who are responsible for shaping up a child's growth and development that's why I've focused on them

May God bless you for educating me bro!
