No 3...Courses?

So only Law,Medicine and Arch are top of courses in the country What happen to Accounting , Engineering courses and others? Is there any Professional body tougher than ICAN in Nigeria? OK me the % of University graduates that passed ICAN in one seat

No 4...Mode of Dressing ? what is have to do with the topic sef ...but op how many polytechnics u don visit o?

No 5... Academics staff.- This is the only good point u made in your topic but I remember my Rector in Ibadan Poly was Prof. Alabi deputized by Alh Balogun FCA in 2002/03

See u, Op is a polytechnic graduate.
Truth 2 be told, does are the facts.
Our polytechnics needs 2 be reformed.
check yourself before you insult another, our educational institutions needs reform, so it's not just about polytechnics.
next time, learn to write in full, especially on academic discourse like this, now your shorthand do not know the difference between "dose" and "does", yet you are everywhere abusing a paper qualification.

Dis are the factors that makes Universities rated than Polytechnics;

1. CURRICULUM: University education in Nigeria, like in other developing countries, is to produce graduates grounded in generic skill and, quality education for the nation's economic development. University curriculum therefore, reflect research about what works, as opposed to what is popular today or tomorrow. This
implies that the curriculum content enable students to attain the
society's expectations, and perhaps most importantly, their needs.


2. STRUCTURES: Most Nigerian Universities have outstanding structures and academic environment more than that of Polytechnic. Most of Polytechnics structures are not up to standard, even most of the buildings in some polytechnics are of old structures.


3. COURSES: Universities run more courses than Polytechnics. Most top professional courses are studied at university level e.g Medicine, Law, Architecture, etc. Though we have Legal studies in replacement of law, SLT in replacement of medicine in Polytechnics, and Architect. But are not well recognise.


4. MODE OF DRESSING: Corporate dressing can be seen in most Nigerian Universities, especially the so called private Universities. Also most of courses run by university has there code of dressing e.g Medicine, Engineering, and Law.


5. ACADEMIC PERFORMERS: Most outstanding students can be seen at Universities, compared to Polytechnics. Most of the Universities are more strict. You hardly bribe lecturers cause many are Professors so, is what u write that you get in most cases. Unlike polytechnics where you easy bribe lecturers to have distinction or upper credit.


6. ACADEMIC STAFFS: Least you can see in Universities as a lecturer is a Doctor (Ph .D). A masters holding can only be of an assistant. Most Seniors lecturers are Professors. While the highest you can get in a polytechnics is a Doctor ( Rector), others are MSc, B. sc or HND holder




Work on your english bro. You're not even justifying the fact that University is better.. .

graduate?


Thank God am not the only person that saw his grammatical blunders, I don't want to reply /quote him directly. Am working in university environment though not ASUU but SSANU and am university graduate, I have seen enough rots among Nigeria graduates (UNI or POLY even MSC), that are my colleagues and I can confidently say not by degrees but individualities. Not until we reduce recognition on paper qualifications Nigeria will never grow economically.

Instead of looking for a job(if you're jobless) or studying hard to make good grades (if you're a student),you're here writing trash.After going through your write up,I just realized that the people you criticize are better than you.You really sound dumb with your shallow reasoning.

I don't understand why this should be an argument, everyone that went or is still going to a poly applied to a university and were denied admission so they made due with polytechnics. The truth is that a university is better, unless you want to deceive yourself. Finally, I heard someone talking about Auchi, smh, its not even among top five in Nigeria

Nigeria shaa, Polytechnic is Polytechnic, University is University....each serves its own purpose, each has its own curriculum. Enough of this comparison. You bought JAMB, you had the option to choose btw poly and uni, you chose poly and years down the road you start comparing yourself with uni grads? How about you exploit your own uniqueness, because poly grads sure have some things uni grads would never have.

enough of all these trashy threads promoting prejudice against polytechnics! the way these threads rate Nigerian universities, one would have thought they some of the world's best yet on the current world ratings not a single Nigerian university made the first 1000! Come to think of it, I daresay, only a few universities in Nigeria are worth being recognized as universities; a good number of state-run universities are mere upgraded secondary schools with inadequate staff, equipment and physical infrastructure. a as for the op claiming most university lecturers are PhD holders because MSc holders are mere assistants.....looooolz grin grin I really hope he isn't referring to our universities because that is a big lie!! yes, the PhDs are encouraged but a good number of lecturers still hold MSc degrees and, indeed, one can rise to become a lecturer 1 maximum of he has the requisite number of publications. the op ought to realize that it is only in Nigeria there is the ridiculous assumption that universities are superior to polytechnics. hence, the reason even government pays little attention to the polytechnics. it is a dangerous assumption and it only aids in killing the polytechnics. there are countless polytechnics in other parts of the world rated highly. here, the polytechnics aren't even allowed to award degrees. ridiculous!!!
Republic of China is a case study, their polytechnic graduates are just top notch.....

Our polytechnics needs 2 be reformed.

I think universities need even more reform. To focus more on research, the mainstay of any country that seeks true diversification of the economy. Too much theory & cramming right now.

Over the past 20 years, Chinese PhD students massively populate UK & American schools. They pay the high fees but take lots of knowledge in STEM back home. We had one working/researching with one of the top (few) experts/professors in Biosensors many years back. They can even barely speak English. But they get the research done.

I won't be surprised if that guy/associates now run a company producing cheap diagnostic biosensors/machines for export, that Western companies cannot price match.

Guy, this your post is meaningless to me. Does school education guarantee success in life? My answer is capital NO. You are rating one institution over the other. The Westerners gave us a big problem in Africa and we welcome the problem. Ninety percent of the richest people in the world had no school education. So wha is our problem with school education. Enough said.
