the current education system is fraught with many problems.  First, educators undermine the development of creative and independent thinking in students with their emphasis on the right answer.  Essentially, students are discouraged from exploring complex issues when their journey for knowledge is abruptly terminated with their discovery of the one right answer.  Consequently, the students who thrive in the school system are typically skilled in rote memorization.  However, they are ill-equipped to deal with the dynamic and complex realities of our society.  Instead of preparing our young people to apply their thinking to changing situations, the education system has essentially produced graduates who are dependent on their superiors and limited by their lack of creativity.
The problem is the foundation,lack of proper study of a child talent when young .a child Good in art because of parent,or profession that pays higher tends to neglect is passion for art which he/she was suppose to nurture while in nursery and encourage to follow he's or her talent I am not encouraging failure if you are school do well, but if you fall in the catogery I explain earlier he or might struggle in a particular course in school while some is bad lecturers, handout money problem e.tc May God help us all.

I dont want to comment before but i think i have to comment, dont even try to mention LAUTECH again. LAUTECH of all school, if some people here dont know what LAUTECH is good at, i personally know because that's the 2nd school am familiar with after the school i graduated from which is Great Ife.
an why is that..please explain

performing well is not abt the school you go. its about what your brain can cope with. but to be sincere, first class, 2.1 even 2.2 are not easy to get in some schools. e.g oau, Futa this is because you have no short cut than to read very well. many read in Oau and will still fail.
from a statistic, people that score 200 to 270 in jamb perform better than all this 290 to 300+. distinction graduate from ado poly graduate with 2.2 In Oau.

LARRYDKING: If u've heard of or experienced the several rigorous tests and screening students of federal varsities have passed through before been offered admission, u'll only but agree with me that it's just the best brains in Nigeria that attends federal schs.

Unilag for example have the policy of admitting candidates who generally merit there admission irrespective of the number. Even thier supplimentary list is always choked up with students who have high score but could not still merit the requirementss. Very good examples of such requirements as it affects all engineering candidates/aspirants of the sch is the possession of at least a credit pass in F-maths at O/level, having a minimum of distinction frm a polytechnic before been quailfied for direct entry among others. After all these, some of their students still graduate will third class and pass.

OAU is another sch where where students who merit their admission can sit at home and expect their names in the first admission list of the sch, same applies in U.I and other federal schs.

Apology to the students of the state unis but this does nt happen in state unis, scoring high and meriting admission requirements cant be totally used as a yardstick for admission, just a phone call frm a prominent member of the society will secure one admission. So if they make 3rd class, we can't really blame anyone for it.

After beating all these requirements to be offered admission into the federal university, why do some students still make as low as 2.2, 3rd class and pass from their schools with all the tests they have passed showing their academic prowess

Share your view.



Maybe if you have been sexually harassed and not succumbed, but the lecturer in question swore never to pass you, you would understand, maybe if you couldn't afford to pay for course materials, or you have to work to pay fees you will understand, there are lots of maybe's But trust me 2.2 and 3rd class doesn't determine a person's destiny, i know of people who graduated with 1st class that 2.2 and 3rd class graduates are far better than.

I met a first class dude that has won lots of scholarships... He is a scholar, intelligent yea, but not smart one bit and for that reason i couldn't date him... i no want bookaholic, i want a smart, sharp sharp dude. That's what pays the bill, not what you read in text books to make a first class. Mtcheeew

I still cant get a concrete answer to this my question, why is it that students who graduated with 2 2 or third class here in Nigeria excel and even graduated as one of the best in their respective schools in abroad? Is it that the output is not measured based on the input or its grace we need to commensurate our excellence.

MisterLongman: There is this popular notion that lecturers fail their because they don't want them to reach their level... That's why you hear in some schools that a department has never produced a first class or even 2nd class upper student and the department is proud of the status quo..... I don't know if its true or not tho
its very true, lot of lecturers themselves graduated with 2.2 hence they become 'sadist' to there students
Re: Third Class And 2.2 In Our Federal Universities. by Shegetine: 9:51am On Aug 29, 2014
Have u forgotten that examination is not the true test of a man's ability, moreover a lot of factors associates with exams at the time of writing so stop thinking that you having 2.1 ahead of your colleague makes you a better student.
LARRYDKING:

source pls It's nt that i dont believe u, i'll just like to read d full details myself, something must be wrong somewhr. BTW, what's the name of the uni? See, if a 2.86 could beat OAU's best student in any test, he can definately beat the best student of his own sch too in such test. Tell me what i dont knw abt the test.

All State Universities are Community schools, no hard feeling and is very rare where a graduate from State university will out smart a Fed. uni graduate. I know of a graduate from Ebonyi state university who could not manage to write a bad CV after her NYSC #gosh# and they are the ones (State University graduate) that lobby for almost everything - employment, food, Transportation, ......... I am proud to be a Feddie graduate

I dont see any special difference between Federal and State Universities, in their process of admission, quality of education, success after school etc.






Have you heard about some Computer science graduates from LAUTECH working with Bill Gates?
