These thoughts has been running through my mind for some time now, and i don't know if I'm the only person thinking along this line

take mathematics for example, how is calculus or almighty formulae suppose to affect our day to day life? not to talk of X+X(Y-Z)1 find X bla bla bla...........for God sake how is that supposed to affect the way am to relate with the guy next door? (please save me the sermon of it making you think fast

Our university system which is supposed to be the height of education is not even helping matter with the way they chunk theories that where propounded in the 15th and 16th century that are never put to practice through the throat of our undergraduates year in year out................little wonder a graduate of electrical engineering do know how to connect a lamp holder from a junction box

come to the social sciences which is suppose to be the study of human behaviour,environment, our social life and the way we relate with ourselves. This is another theory induced curriculum altogether where we are thought history upon history that is not relevant in our everyday life

No gain saying the departments of pure and applied art and agric science are almost a share waste of 4 and 5 years respectively


My idea of what the curriculum should be is that we should be thought what we need for our everyday life.
THINGS LIKE: how to create and manage wealth, nation building, peacefull coexistence, etc. And not some archaic history and laws that was propounded some 14th century ago

The important of medicine and science cannot be over emphasized, then it should be thought with adequate practicals and exposure and not this copy and paste method that is holding sway in our fatherland

please share your thoughts
