Public Universities Should Send Social Science Students Back Home - Opinion by HigherEd: 5:07pm On Jan 31, 2021
Considering the current Covid19 increased virulence and the obvious lack of a vaccine in Nigeria. it might be a good idea for students of social sciences, education, business and commerce, law etc to go back home in a bid to depopulate the Universities.

The reason is majority of these programmes can be conveniently taught online. As a matter of fact, the recent zoom update is quite better improved to support teaching. E.g a large class of students can now breakout into different breakout sessions therefore improving the experience.

The only students that should be retained in school at this moment in my opinion should be those of the science and technology, medicine and surgical departments who need to use laboratories and can't simulate such an educational experience online.

Watch how people will call you enemy of education grin. Anyway you do have a point, tertiary institutions should stop pretending they can handle everyone at once but what do I know, corona will dodge schools undecided.

You have a point but will they listen?

Engineering and medical students should be the one in school and others should be taught online.

You're very correct but majorities of the medicine are useless in Nigeria,90% of drugs in Nigeria are imported yet people have been studying this course since ages.

very illogical, belittling one faculty while exhorting another is symptomatic of bias and this simply shows why Nigeria is backward. with such thought in peoples mind, we are heading for a crash

I agree with you totally, Faculties such as the Social Sciences, Arts and Law (they can even have their moot Court online) ought to be taught virtually.

True all faculty that don’t do any practical stuffs can stick to online lectures

Sciences and Engineering needs to use Laboratory for their practicals and as such sticking to only online lectures won’t be favorable to them.

Can you imagine his Guts? smiley.....
In as much as he got a valid reason that courses should be taught online because of Covid,..... but singling out faculties just because he can was outrageous... He was implying that Engineering and other faculties he mentioned has no theoretical aspects........as a matter of fact, how many time do they do practical in Nigerian institution?

Take computer/ electrical engineering for example, there are certain things/ element that those offering that course does not know it's function/ use even when they were in Final year.... Civil engineering students, how many times do they go on field work for practical?... I don't know if he was deliberately trying to annoy people.... If that was the case, He got me..

It's a wonderful idea but sentiment would not let it work,

But My sister got a nursing certificate online without ever conducting experiment.

What does our science student know self, practical is zero, no R and D. what has the engineer of our university every achieved.

teach them online , both medical students, what we have in Nigeria are glorified secondary school

My major opinion is this: We are happy when we leave our parents house for university, it means freedom and peace of mind, it means independence.

so why do you want people to lose their independence by learning from home,

the same home they want to avoid by all means

Your independence starts the day you gain admission, don't lose it
