Is youth skill acquisition or Skills-Based Education important? how does it affect the employment rate among Nigerian youths?

This article has important points that will help not just to get employed, but to be in high demand and choose the job you want

Education is increasingly recognized as the most valuable investment we can make in Nigerian youth . At the highest level, the goal of that education is to improve lives. But are we fulfilling our obligation to invest in education that achieves that goal?

Does school prepare Nigerian youths for the real world? The need for youth skill acquisition

Study hard and get good grades and you will find a high-paying job with great benefits……does this still hold waters?

children spend years in an antiquated educational system, studying subjects they will never use, preparing for a world that no longer exists.

Today, the most dangerous advice you can give a child is Go to school, get good grades and look for a safe secure job, That is old advice, and it’s bad advice.

It’s bad advice because if you want your child to have success in life, they can’t play by the old set of rules. It’s just too risky.

This forms a perfect tripod stand for some grave concerns:

(1) Does a good education or good grades always translate into good jobs for young school leavers?

(2) What is the definition of a “good job”?

(3) Is getting a “good job” always the ultimate guarantee for a life filled with riches & wealth?
