The fact that the Nigerian Educational Sector has been under some organized attacks of recent is no longer news. What is news is the new dimension the attacks are now taking and the increase in the number of attackers and their various styles.

Starting with the Federal Government who over the years have turned deaf ears to the recommended budget allocation to education as advised by the United Nations and moving on to their colleagues in arms – the Boko Haram – who abducts students, kill teachers and destroy citadels of education in their quest to ensure zero level of “Western Education” in Nigeria and then to the latest craze in town which is the kidnapping of teachers and students for ransom virtually everywhere in the country.

In a related issue, news reaching our Desk all the way from Akwa Ibom State have it on authority that a Vice-Principal of a Community School located at Nkek Village in Ukanafun Local Government Area has been gunned down right on the school’s premises by unidentified criminals. This much has been confirmed by the police spokesperson in the state, Ikechukwu Chukwu.

According to him, the killing is already being investigated by the Police Authorities. They are however withholding the identity of the victim for now.

It is not news that the students kidnapped in a school in Epe, Lagos have not yet being released by the hoodlums despite the payment of a ransom running into millions of naira by parents of the victims and now, we are beginning to see teachers being killed on the premises of the school compounds.

Yet, whenever the issue of falling educational standards in the schools come up in any discussion, the government is quick to blame teachers who are already over-stretched in the classrooms in their efforts to teach unprepared and badly influenced pupils coupled with the fact they are under-paid (if paid at all). What does the society really want this endangered species called teachers to do more after all the attacks they keep up with?

If all of these are not part of a calculated measure to kill education in the country, what is it then?
