Nigerian Educational System. by anugirl(f): 7:51pm On Jul 01, 2005
Why is Nigerian educational qualification not recognized in other parts of the world?
Re: Nigerian Educational System. by olaide07(f): 12:41pm On Jul 04, 2005
Because of the standard of education. A person who made 1st class in a course could not defend himself. Simply corruption in education. Everybody is aware of that throughout the world. 'Nigeria na wa'!

because they know it is possible to have a certificate here in Nigeria without stepping into school.

It is not recognised because we made it so.
We are intelligent than the whites only that...............................................................

what about the "strikes", whereby someone taking engineering for example takes 10 years instead of 4? Why should the degree of a univeristy be recognised, if its graduates certificate contains 1995-2006, for just an engineering course?

It's accepted, if you have the right papers. And you are in the right place where there's no racism.

well, the decay in Nigeria Educational system is so alarming that it is hot enough to spread butter on. I mean all over the world it is known that Nigeria breed a system that is so easy to infiltrate. This makes everything possible in its wake. Now, the rush is UK certificate, before long now what we will be seeing is a lot of "TORONTO" UK certificate. well that was what we were taught to do by our foremost democratic leader(s).
God saves us. I personally believe we will get the best out of Nigeria one day.

India certificates were not a good certificate in Nigeria in olding days. Because of over production, Nigerian parade world labour market with various certificate today as Indian did then. Nigerian trained Doctors and Nurses are still hot cake anywhere in the world today why is it so?

Because they are old products of Nigerian universities and they competent, and before they lost their experience in the Nigerian medical scene of daily repetition (Imagine a Gynacologist that is forced to become a Family Doctor, thats Nigerian scenario for you.), they migrated outside.

Well "said" objibb

I dont understand why the state and local governments don't make more of thier own universities. We can't have only the feds and private peopl doing it. The more universities the more competition and the better quality. Nigeria needs about 1000 universities more
Re: Nigerian Educational System. by Babybee(f): 12:29am On Mar 18, 2006
it is recognised,only that it will be screened to the last, because people believe that Nigerians are too good,i mean they might not even go to school,and they'll have certificatessss. sometimes they even say some Nigerians are over qualified.
Re: Nigerian Educational System. by omon(m): 5:00pm On Mar 19, 2006
I don't know about you, but I owe my present position today to what the Nigerian system taught me. Today, I mingle with the very best specialists (in my field) that you will find in the UK.

good for u grin grin cool
Re: Nigerian Educational System. by docokwy(m): 10:39pm On Jan 18, 2007
This is the most ridiculous assertion ever made. I had a HND from Nigerian. With that certificate I obtained an MSc in Belgium (from the 36th best university in the world). Now I am pursuing a PhD in Germany in the best lab in Europe and the 8th  best globally. My dear, Naija certificates are recognised. The difference is in grade obtained, and importantly, and how well you are able to compete during interview sessions for scholarship. It is an individual thing.

@ thread starter
If your statement is a fact
It is false. Nigerian education is recognized in other parts of the world, maybe not always looked upon as "prestigious".
Definitely recognized.

If you attend a good school in Nigeria it would be very easy to get good grades in the US even though you struggled in Nigeria.

I couldn't agree w/ you more. lol
Nigerian education is a lot more rigorous than in the US. I swear the smartest people in the US are almost always from foreign countries. India, china, germany, nigeria etc
US is getting dumber and dumber everyday so they need students from other countries i guess.
Re: Nigerian Educational System. by amebo22: 10:19pm On Jul 10, 2009
I skimmed through the conversation above. And to clear out some points like the Grades system.In Nigeria the Grade point average GPA is 5 out of 5, while in the USA is 4 out of 4 to start with ,thus it makes no sense to compare at all. And I agree that C in nija is like a fail in America.True especially if you care about your GP.


- In Nigeria we tend to go ahead and teach alot of theoretical stuff that in the end you cram what you are supposed to be thought in the Level 300 at High school. In the US on the other hand its both practical and theoretical and at a pace that when you are asked after 5years you will remember. How many of you who have graduated can remem anything that you studied in 100level to be honest.

I totally disagree with some points becos, just the fact that you studied in Nija and you get to the US and the topic is repeated does not make one smarter. I am sure that if you have schooled in the states you would differ your opinion. Imagine A student having to Work,pay bills,fend for your self and still go to school.
While in Nija get pocket money (usually the case most of the time)and all you worry about is passing your grade and cultism. And yet our people are still comparing first world and 3rd world.?hmmmmmmmmmmm

. Nija certificates if finally recognised example in the US you might need to verify your classes with their education system and then Take pr erequites or just saying it plainly redo some of the classes to be sure that you are competent
