even third class are getting the job....so i dont see anyting in that ...

If I got you right, I'm not downplaying the 2.2 and third class, sincerely I've really seen bright students in this categories that you sometimes wonder what happened, why they aren't among the top, well so also I've seen some really dump 2.1 student; for 'pass' I think an affidavit would be better, abi wetin you think.
However a pass student can become a politician,they're ussually good at it
He could become a member of the red house and dictate the earning of first class prof grin *life can be funny atimes.

Whats wrong with pass or what we termed " Let my people go"?

It feels wrong to group people worthy of a pass with third class products. Anyway, any new innovation is always me with resistance

This is something I posted ages ago but the mods didn't deem it FP material, no offense to the OP. It'll have saved many students had it been brought out.
Oh well, better late than never they say.

Re: NUC Abolishes Award Of Pass Degree by WINDSOW(m): 10:18pm On Feb 04, 2015
The Nigerian Educational System is volatile as mess.
1)No credible facilities
2)High cost of schooling
3)Lack of incentives
4)Crude n obsolete teaching methods
5)Lack of research centres n lot more.
If only our tertiary institutions can be heavily funded n utilised,I tell U:Nigerian Students gat potentials to compete with their foreign counterparts.
Tell me,who neva chop na im wan read
Re: NUC Abolishes Award Of Pass Degree by WINDSOW(m): 10:28pm On Feb 04, 2015
Our university should desist from grade rather people should go to school to acquire skills that ll make them competent in the society. I use to tell people,We youth do not really need a JOB.What we want is opportunities that ll translate our lives.
OK,Imagine a third class grade student,who is skillful in practical auto -mechanics.Imagine,he was given a contact to work as automobile engineer in a car manufacturing coy,ll he use his grade or skills to do the job?ofcourse,he ll use his skills.
Let's acquires skills not grades.Besides,upon grades,the country is yet to invent a thing.
Wetyn Naija don invent Nothing!!!

Most of these old men that make our policies now had a a better share of the good in this country. We have an educational system that is structured around the availability of jobs. If there are enough jobs......degrees would have been degree.

Now that pass degree has become a thing of the pass......I hope those with better degree can now get the jobs.....lol.......they should provide enough jobs and create enable environment for SMEs......in no time.....Nigerians will stop talking about classes of degrees.
Re: NUC Abolishes Award Of Pass Degree by VirginFinder: 10:51pm On Feb 04, 2015
I think Covenant University created and implemented this policy about 11yrs ago.

They also created and implemented Entrepreneurial Development Studies and Dress Code policy which public universities have since adopted.

That school must be great.

My siblings are alumni.
Re: NUC Abolishes Award Of Pass Degree by lusciouslex: 11:09pm On Feb 04, 2015
If they want to abolish 'pass' and "E", why don't they start by putting an end to strike, flush out wicked lecturers and close down all PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES? For one who is issued with pass in a Federal uni... Could likely be a 1st class student in most of all these private institutions that are notorious for harboring JAMB attempted average students.

nice move... now most of these dullards will sit up & face their studies, not whoring around & engaging in cultist activities.

Point of correction, O ye gullible: Dull lads never engage in activities of CULTure - or, at least, they can not;
they are not allowed to; and they will never be allowed to until the day the "E no need am"
hypocrisy has been both conquered and overcome as thoroughly as the killing of twins is supposed to have been.

See the stress Students pass thru just to become something in life. Even now, a Pass is no more accepted AND someone without certificate want to rule NIGERIA. What a big ERROR!

My dear, the university close to me was doing their matric few weeks ago. I sat observing how students were struggling to make it to the matric ground being that there was very hectic traffic on the road leading to the institution that very day.

I ended my soliloquy with this, " This is what they go through and after 4 or 5 years, nothing for them , what a pity "..

I laugh when I hear people make ill informed statements like this. The fact that Federal Universities make learning harder and frustrating does not mean that those who earned their first class in a private university were "dashed". Trust me, the day Federal Universities become professional, well equipped, comfortable and run a balanced, fair system like Covenant and other private universities, you would be surprised at the increase in the number of first class graduates they would produce. I took a look at the examination questions for an Engineering Department at O.A.U and trust me the questions were of same standard. I could answer all of those questions at first glance.
What then is the difference between me and the person taking that exam at OAU? I have access to the lecture note immediately after the lectures. I can meet my lecturer at his office if I dont understand. Tutorial questions are uploaded so that I can practice. I have access to 24 hour Internet, water and electricity supply. I dont have parties that last all night to distract me here. I am confident of my security and my lecturers are always on time. The person who took those exams at OAU, can he boast of these comforts?
Do not forget that like the lecturers in the public Universities, all our lecturers are products of the public Universities, our vice chancellor inclusive. The same applies with the federal universities. So my brother, it is quite unfair to say that a person who burned the midnight candle, deprived himself of sleep and comfort to earn a first class was "dashed" simply becuase he didnt attend a public University. I end with the statement of Thomas Edison, 'if we do all we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves". Does the Public University give you a chance to do all you are capable of doing?

well you are right.. education aint all about academics, it is all about the right learning environment and opportunity to discover yourself.

The reality is the real world is very different from the academic world.. i agree with you..
