It is so easy to put blames on the Govt of Nigeria, teachers, corruption blah blah blah. We quickly forget that this nation is made up of individuals that come from families. Education should have really improved in Nigeria as there are better enabling environment today than before. But honestly, the woes of these students boils down to their parents. How many parents follow their wards academic work? How many parents spend time to help their wards with school work. I owe my cognitive abilities to my parents. My mathematical prowess to my Dad, even as a banker in ever busy Lagos, the man made sure that he went through my school work and inculcated thoroughness in my studies. No teacher will ever do that. I still use my brains to solve mathematical problems that requires the use of calculators. My mum though didn't go through the 4 walls of a University but she inculcated the essential memory work in my life and ability to use figures. Tell me your date of birth today and in the next ten yrs I will send u a birthday gift on that day. That was the job of my mum. And she did it perfectly. This generation is suffering because we have lazy parents that is why we have lazy children. Lesson teachers are paid to do all even to bleep their children. I was talking to a set of teens sometime ago and I asked them, how many spend at least four hours reading for Jamb and WAEC, the four hours to them was like"how is this possible?" None and I mean one of the about 70 teens ever thought of reading overnight talk less of spending 4hrs reading. My friends, parents do not only have work hard to earn good money to give their children qualitative education but must able to directly impact children with abilities that make their wards stand out academically . My boy will be 2yrs next August, but honestly, what that boy knows or can do children in Pri 1 cannot, i am not bragging, I know exactly what I am saying. Out of my busy schedule, I still sit with the boy to teach and impact him whether it is convenient for me or not. Parents should do their work and compliment the teachers to make their wards better. No govt will help ur children do well at school, the teacher will do the little they can but parents will the greater part of the work. 4 Likes |

Parents do not sit down to teach their children how to study at the early stages of life. Teach them English from Brighter grammar and maths from other simple maths books. Apart from sending them to the best schools, you have a lot of work to do. Children always love to play. So who teaches them discipline ? The parents... That I was good in school, I owe it to my father's tutelage..Best in junior and senior WAEC. Academics and Discipline are one and the same thing. One cannot excel in academics without being disciplined. A tout cannot be a professor because he is unable to sit in a place and a person who cannot sit in a place cannot read. A person who cannot read cannot comprehend. A person who cannot comprehend cannot assimilate. Aperson who cannot assimilate cannot remember and reproduce what he read. That's why Courses are referred to as Discipline. Again, blame the parents.. 2 Likes |

Okay people, we've wept and gnashed our teeth about the downfall of our educational system (and country). Can I suggest that subsequent posters try to suggest possible solutions? Not that I believe so much that our words will make any difference, mind you. One sad lesson I have learnt teaching students is that no matter how nicely or constructively you tell people the right thing to do, they still generally will not change their ways. In other words, suggesting solutions here will *probably* not matter at the end of the day. However, hope springs eternal ...I have never stopped trying, and we should not stop trying to solve our problems. Way forward? |

Can't blame the students of this generation,the blame goes to the people who after benefiting from the public schools allowed them to rot,some of them even attended on scholarships but now they have abandoned those schools,its is pathetic, the stream does not spoil from it center but the head. Instead of reinvesting in the schools that gave them so much to them they will send their kids to nursery schools where they pay in millions in the name of giving them sound education and they now forgot that they themselves were trained from the public purse, after the war in 1970s it was the community that was paying pupils tuition fees. Untill we go back to communal living where everybody will see the public property as something worth protecting jealously we will see more evil to come. |

The blame is for every one..these students do not care about their future. All they care about is to enroll exams and write without preparation... Talking abt copying and photocopyin, I don't see it stoping soon coz we have a lot of good graduate that are unemployed out there, so in a bid to make ends meet they get part time job in private that indulge in massive, general, and multipurpose malpractice. In this case who should bear the blame?? |

The standard of education in the nation's public schools is dwindling. I think many, if not all people, would believe that. But we should not lay all the blame at pupils' feet; they deserve much of it, though. I'm a teacher trainee at a College of Educatuion. I'm not fully into the teaching line, but I hope to be in a few years' time. From the little I know about the Nigeria education, I would say it is way back behind time. The rote learning method is still the norm in most schools. Little or no comprehensive explanation is given to the students. Blame the teachers for this, but not everyone of them. Blame the government too, for employing every Jackass certificate into the classroom. Our curriculum, no matter how updated they seem, are still very much outdated. Language education curricula of most countries emphasize communicative skills. That of Nigeria emphasizes cramming the dictionary. I have posted a few SSCE questions in English on a popular TOESL site and most commentators, mostly native speakers, condemn them as being too rigid and useless. What's the essence of following the so called RP when Estuary is taking over the whole of Britain; or teaching only the BrE when AmE is more widely known? Teachers meagre salaries, strikes, unconducive learning environs, parents' lackadaisical approach to children, etc are other causes. |

okpara ugo: [b]Spread the blame.. I will start with the NUMBER 1 person or entity at fault, Government - Government Schools = MOSTLY children of Government Employees and then Children of Parents whose income fall below a certain benchmark. If the Government Schools were properly run, properly maintained, properly monitored and supervised, properly researched to find ways of improving its standards both in content and estetiques, and also POLITICS is removed from education, what you would have done is solve more than half the problem. I attended a Government school and heaven knows I was one of those who snuck through the system. We were poorly equipped as I never saw a burnsen burner (except in textbooks) until SSCE time. Infact I was shocked to know that we had a few chemistry Lab sets that were kept in the Principals office for fear that they would get broken during classes and the school wouldnt be able to replace them. Even Physics Lab eqipment of things as basic as glass prisms, glass block, 'knife edge' & meter rule, e.t.c were never made available to us. SO we learnt causes that were highly practical in nature 'theoritically'. So a student like me who learns visually is left really handicapped. I still remember learning music with a 'Stick Piano' that made no sound. A carpenter designed a wooden piano with keys and all and our teacher expected me to kow the 'C-note' and what have you. Still on Government. The Ministry of Education is responsible for Teachers recruitment and welfare. What applies is that ethinicism and politics gets involved, poorly trained and under-qualified teachers are employed, their meagre wages and benefits are not paid as at when due, then these teachers are barely ever re-trained or evaluated and no audit is ever carried out to investigate the quality of teachers in the system. If not for Mr. Oshiomoles verification exercise, that woman who couldnt read her own allegedly written sworn-afidevit would still be in the employs of the Edo state Ministry of education and many more pupils would have been passed/graduated by her only to go look grossly-stupiid in the higher levels of education and thus resort to cheating their way through schools. I still remmeber by Geography Teacher in secondary school. She would come to school just to sell Meatpie and Ice cream and leave. She barely ever came to class to teach us anything. Still on Government. Its the Governments jobs to provide schools. The average Government School has an estimated 50 Pupils per teacher/per class. HOW ON EARTH IS THAT SUPPOSED TO WORK. Well, students like me simply blend in with the back crowd and gets lost in the system. Thats how many students somehow sneak through the system till graduation and then somehow become First Lady of Nigeria and with a degree in Mathematic, Biology and Psychology from both a state and federal university, still cant speak nor read simple English Language. The Governments should have built more schools and employed more qualified teachers to accomodate these students. not more than 22 per class. Next would be Parents. Well.. Parents remain the primary care-giver and care-provider of their kids. Its thier duty to know at all times how their children are faring academically, socially and otherwise. So when you are the parent of a child whose school work you have never checked on, whose school teachers you have never met, whose academic life you have only bothered to pay for and nothing more, then you should also be blamed that your kid is a mo-ron. A classic example would be that of my kid brother who started doing really bad in school. After several beatings from my mum (who somehow thinks the solution to every problem starts with the cane and ends with prayers) she then decided to follow him to school and sit in class with him while learnt. The teacher said he was a very quiet and respectful boy but couldnt quite get why he wasnt doing well in school. That day my mum followed him to class was the day she noticed that my brother could not see anything written on the board as his eyes were bad. She noticed he wasnt writing and when she was forcefully trying to make him write, she noticed he was struggling. She immediately took him from class to the optician where they diagonised my brother with acute short sightedness. Many Parents would never have known this because they are too busy chasing paper to notice the welfare of their kids. This continous decay in our Education sector has already started yeilding its fruit. I remember Gov. Amaechi of Rivers State almost losing his mind when he went through some of the scripts of the aplicants for the Rivers State Teachers recruitment exercise. The guy could not believe that some of those scripts belonged to people who had written first school leaving examinations. Has anybody wondered why the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) fights every government that tries to set a competence examination for teachers?! My advice is simply; Get rich and send your kids to good private schools.  or we can start electing people with sense into government so as to have a sensible society.[/b]3 Likes |
