GLOBALTOURISM:
The rate at which Nigerians move abroad in their quest for education is on the increase. Students prefer to spend their money going abroad to study than study in Nigeria. This may be facilitated by some basic factors which may be personal to the individual, or factors that the Nigerian government have seen and don’t want to do anything about it. It is those factors or reasons that will be highlighted below.
1. Standard and method of teaching
Most countries abroad apply an advanced method of teaching in their tertiary institutions. Some institutions make use of 4 curriculums of world most developed countries in teaching their students. This will help the students to be able to compete with fellow students from other countries. But in Nigeria, we make use of only 1 curriculum in teaching students. Students who are aware of these low standards of teaching will not hesitate to send their children abroad to study.
2. Rigorous means of getting admission into the institution
In Nigeria today, before a child gets admission to any Nigerian institution, he or she has to pass through a rigorous means of testing. A student in Nigeria will after taking WAEC to be required to take JAMB, after that, he will also be required to take another exam in the institution before he or she will be given an opportunity to study in such institution. Most times, students are being exploited in order for them to get admission. These institutions do all these just to collect money from students. This has made some students prefer studying abroad than in Nigeria.
3. Low quality of education
In Nigeria today, our standard of education is nothing to write home about. You will see a fresh graduate of electrical engineering who cannot fix a socket on the wall: because of how he was taught. Most of the Nigerian graduates cannot compete with graduates who study abroad in terms of what they studied. There is a lack of a good environment for learning. There is the absence of good infrastructures, laboratory equipment, etc. Students prefer to study abroad because of these low standards of our education found in Nigeria.
4. Incessant strike
In Nigeria today, someone who is studying a 5 years course ends up in spending about 7-8 years in school. Not that he was failing, but because of the strike. For instance, in 2014, Nigerian universities embarked on a nationwide strike for about 8 months. This was followed by Nigerian polytechnics. Some students almost forgot that they were still students because they have to go look for work. No student will be happy to spend more the stipulated time he or she would have loved to spend in school. This strike issue is hardly experienced in the tertiary institutions abroad; which is why every Nigerian student would like to study abroad.
5. Better Job opportunities
In Nigeria today, labor employers consider certificates and the source of such certificate before employment. A student who studied abroad has a higher opportunity of getting a better job more than the student who studied in Nigeria. Also, when you study abroad, you have a better chance of getting employment. This is because of the locality and the quality of the institution you are graduating from as a student. Also, the level of stress that one passes before getting a job in Nigeria is very high, therefore, one prefers settling abroad after studying, were chances of getting a job id high.
6. Preference for foreign certificates
Most times, labor employers prefer certificates or degrees that come from abroad than those that come from Nigerian universities. For instance, a company looking for an electrical engineer will likely employ one with a certificate from a university abroad than one with a certificate obtained from a Nigerian University. This is because of the quality of education acquired by both, and also the institution per se. And the employers also believe that those who study abroad has an upper hand than those who study in Nigeria because they believe that those graduating from institutions abroad had a high quality of education than those who graduate from the Nigerian university.
7. Low cost of living
The cost of living abroad is relatively low compared to the cost of living in Nigeria. The high cost of living as a student is high. A student will be paying relatively the same thing for a self-contained room as to what someone living in a two-bedroom flat will be paying. This is what is obtained in Nigerian university environments. Not only the house issue, but business people also tend to make merchandise of Nigerian students, because they think that they have the money. What you buy N100 in a Nigerian university environment will be sold at the rate of N50 in a non-university environment. This has made some students refer to study abroad than to study in Nigeria.
8. Behavioral development
Behaviourally, students who studied abroad, especially in one of the world most developed countries, tend to put up a good and better behavior than students who study in Nigeria. Nigeria has been known worldwide to be a corrupt nation. Most times, individual Nigerian student tends to put up such stereotypical behavior. Students who study abroad tend to put up more civilized behaviors than those who study in Nigeria. Also, those students who study abroad tend to be law abiding and cautious than Nigerian students.
9. To brush up your Language skills
Most Nigerian students want to study abroad so that they can know how to speak. You cannot compare the language of one who studied in U.K with the language of one who studied in Nigeria. The English they speak most e differently. The student who studies in U.K. will speak more excellent English than one who studied in Nigeria. Also, other students who study abroad tend to know more world languages than one who studied in Nigeria.
10. Gain a global mindset
Most Nigerian student wants to study abroad so that they can know what is really happening around the world. When they leave their location, they will be able to gain more global mindset about the world than one who is in Nigeria. Abroad students will be able to have a wider view about global issues than one who studied in Nigeria.
