sen...i hope this is not one of those numerous promise our representatatives promised the masses only to get there and start fighting for the sole benefit of their pocket. That being said, do you think corruption can wiped out of the country?? If yes how do you think the government you are going to be leading will achieve this aim?


Lol, there are a few credible people still left in the country, it's not a hop less situation.

Corruption cannot be completely eradicated but can be reduced to it's barest minimum.

M going to advocate that a credible person heads EFCC, that achieved, m going to either proscribe death penalty by hanging or firing squad for corrupt people ,QED.
I will advocate the conduction of public hearing to ammend our laws on corruption, m sure majority of Nigerians will support the move.

provided there are no forces in the senate fighting against anti corruption.

@ Utchgirl,
Salient point you have raised but allow my humble self, Hon. Otherique the pleasure of a divergent view from yours. Besides, I heard variety's the spice of life.
Now back to the issue of a B.Sc and HND comparison,
1. The quality of Education on both sides aren't exactly the same.
2. While a Dr. can head a polytechnic, a Dr can't even be a dean in a Faculty.
3. To enhance learning, Universities are restricted to quota admission unlike in polytechnics where everybody is admitted.
4. In polytechnics, serious learning takes place from HND 1 and above, as a matter of fact, only HND levels are properly regulated.
5. A B.sc holder can be a senior lecturer in a polytechnic which is a taboo in the University.
6. Even polytechnics do not offer postgraduate programmes.
7. polytechnics just like Colleges of Educations are specialised institutes and should have no business offering courses outside the general intention of establishing.
8. Lastly, Saying a polytechnic graduate is more educated and exposed compared to a University graduate is like saying a roadside Mechanic is better than a polytechnic graduate.

My 2 cents.


Nt alwaz true

Remember we r talking of all unis and polys in general.

1. Plz tro more light on ur no 1. Which is beta and giv ur reason

2. A doc. Can't evn be a dean in a uni ? Hop u r nt exaggerating ?

3. U can say dt happens in only fed.and state uni.I doubt if dt happens in Private Unis. FYI; fed and state polys hv restricted quotas on admission dis days BTW. Who told u dt is 2 enhance learning.

4. This ur no 4 is a very big fallacy. Who told u dt dia arent serious learning in ND 1 and 2 ? Do u knw dt @ d end of d ND program,students write PROJETS and final yr exams jus like final yr students of Unis ? And why do u tink dt afta d ND program ,d student must undergo a yr I T ? Dt is 2 show u dt d polys are serious wit d foundation laying (ND). Beside, after graduating 4rm ND , if a student wishes nt 2 ctnue, he/she can get a wel paying job wit d ND result. Can d Uni students do dt ? D ansa is NO.

5. Dis can only be found in both private Unis and polys and nt jus. Poly's. U can verify dis, jus check some privates Unis, and u will see BSc holders as Lectrures dia.And remember we r talking of all d Unis and polys in general

6. It's d same tin as saying, make BSc equals HND. Whn dis is done, PGD, wil equally be taking place in polys

7: Thank God u said Poly's are specialised institutes. Unlike some Unis dt hv courses dt r nt accredated by NUC.

8: Dis ur No 8 is senseless, Y r u talking like a kid?

Let's be sincere with ourselves here, in all real sense, you can't compare a poly education to a university education. I have had the chance of meeting students of state poly and state uni I have really compared and the difference so very glaring. I decided not to make comparism with federal so as to give an equal playing field. From my observations, I have noticed that university students have the sense of aura or let me say more academic consciousness that polythenic students don't have. More number of poly students go to school not cos they want to pursue their careers but just because they need a certificate and don't want to be regarded as illiterates. Now am not saying that this does not also occur in Unis but the number is not as much as students of poly students. I will like to admit one thing though I believe poly students are exposed to more pactical knowledge but when they are given a task of trying to present themselves, they might not know how to do that. The irony of all this is that a university student who has got little knowledge in practical will know how to present himself and make you think he has got all the knowledge required in carrying out a task a poly student on the other hand that knows what he wants to do finds it hard to present himself to you....really the way we package is a major difference btw them

Re: The Nairaland Assembly by Otherique: 8:26am On Jul 01, 2015
@ Utchgirl

1. The quality isn't exactly the same in the sense that Universities has a higher standard, more fundings and proper regulations compared to polytechnics.

2. A Dr. can only be a HOD and not a dean of a faculty, you can ask around.

3. Quotas limits the crowd in a lecture hall, it makes the population manageable by the school administration, it doesn't put pressure on available infrastructure and brings the lecturer close to the students.

4. No?! You can't be serious. when you ask questions, you let the other party do the answering. Universities run programmes like Diplomas which is equivalent to the polytechnic OND and it's up to you to further or go find a job with it. And when I say serious learning takes place from HND 1, I mean it is at this stage there's crowd control, only those with good G.Ps are admitted for HND programs. The one year IT for polytechnics is a must, whether it adds intelligence to your area of discipline is a lesson for another day because I have seen a prospective accountant mixing sand and cement at a construction site and another in her mother's canteen. Because its not properly regulated and no supervisors to oversee the teeming population of ND students doing IT in various states.

5. The yardstick for assessment is a typical government funded Institutions because private polytechnics is almost at same level with secondary schools, you'll find students been taught by corpers. The only B.sc you'll find in a classroom is a graduate trainee who's running his M.sc and sometimes assigned to assist the lecturer who is in charge of that course; they are usually first class products retained by the school. Still at that, they are unworthy of teaching undergraduates, that's why they are referred to as graduate trainee and can only assume the title of assistant lecturer when the have a Masters but Senior lecturer is for Drs and profs unlike in polytechnics.

6. I think lecturers of polytechnics need to upgrade themselves, how can you handle Ph.Ds when even the rector is not a professor? they do not have the manpower to run post graduate programmes, the requirement to be worthy of a lecturer is a Ph.D in the university according to NUC but that will be asking for too much in polytechnics.

7. Thank God you mentioned NUC, at least you are acknowledging there's a functional regulatory body who can discredit any department for non-performance in the university, polytechnics has no functional regulatory body, that's why they can comfortably deviate from their mandate of offering practical technical courses to offering pure administrative courses without sanctions.

8. Avoid taking on my person, its not the smartest thing to do. the comparison of polytechnic graduates and road side mechanics is derived from the argument that HND holders are better off than their B.Sc counterparts because they are more exposed to practical stuffs than B.sc holders.

Then is it safe to say a road side mechanic is better than polytechnics mechanical engineers?[i]



Now sweetheart, I hope my arguments has been convincing enough.

IMO ; HND shld nt only equate BSc bt shld be bigger dan BSc in some cases.

Reasons :

1. In all polytechnic 4 u 2 get HND u must spend a mininum of 5 yrs while in some cases in a uni. U spend only 4 yrs 2 get BSc

2. Observations hv shown dt Polytechnics students undergo /carryout practicals more dan dia Uni. Counterparts.

3. Industrial Training (IT) in Polytechincs alwaz hv a yr duration while in some courses in Uni ,it's 6mnths

4. In polys after, d compulsory 1 yr I T, if d student dnt wish 2 further his/her education,he can get a gud paying Job wit d ND result. Bt a student cant do dt in a Uni.

@Utchgirl,

I see comprehension is certainly not your forte hence I shall persevere in ensuring you learn a thing or two.

I was very careful with my write ups, that's why I said a "Functional" regulatory body, you should spare the lectures for yourself, you certainly need it more than I do.

Even NMAs will not want any medical discipline in Polytechnics because of a whole lot of issues ranging from the ineptitude of the regulatory agencies to a whole lots of vices. How often do you hear about courses not accredited in polytechnics?


I was also specific when I talked about the basic requirements needed for lecturing in Universities, if its fully implemented is not really the bone of contention right now, am sure you do understand the Nigerian factor.

you do not have to malign my person to feel superior, I belong to both worlds, I know enough.




Thanks.

Now you are talking.
Our current pursuit is quite peaceful.

Even in 1967, it was Nigeria that attacked after we declared our independence.
We declared it because we were being slaughtered all over Nigeria.
We were slaughtered because we carried an "IGBO" coup.

For me I insist it was a coup carried out by the Nigerian army.
That was in the past anyway.

However, even now, we are are still killed at any slightest excuse.
Till when?

Bros, the activities of the Fulani herdsmen is more of a threat to Nigeria than our agitation to Biafra.
Or is it better to kill all Nigerians just to keep Nigeria "ONE" than to separate, stay apart a little and preserve human life?

You said, we are Africans. We have not advanced.

So, when are we going to advance?
How are we going to advance?

Let us sit down and negotiate Nigeria.
Nigeria has been negotiated.

Excuse me lady , you are displaying the manner of a poly grad.

The dean of a faculty is usually a professor ... Doc usually discharge such function of Dean's office in acting capacity especially in a faculty that suffers dearth of professor infact in some unis Prof is usually the HOD.

and Some Docs may still sustain the title of Doc but might have reached the level of Associate Prof or Reader thus might become a substantive Dean.

as for NBTE ..... NBTE doesn't equate NUC .... how could you compare a technical board with commission of erudites

[b]for HND/B.sc disparity .....

I was once in Polytechnic before porting to uni thus I have experienced both Institutions and I can tell you the condition and parameters of learning in both Institution differs as far as academic is concern.

B.sc is Bachelor of Science ...which implies you have been "theoretically, conceptually and pragmatically" equipped to relate with modalities of your discipline while HND , Higher National Diploma implied you have been pragmatically (practically) equipped to relate with modalities in your discipline as theoretically and conceptually evolved by a B.sc/M.sc/PhD holder

Polytechnics in a bid to make more money has delved into discipline they don't have resources to undertake .....

at parity, You can't compare somebody who has been tutored by professors with somebody who hardly passed through a PhD holder in his/her entire academic life.


Polytechnic is a technical school from her name "technics" the poly implies the discipline in such Institution is more than one technical discipline e.g Civil engineering, Elect elect , Mech eng etc ..... we also have monotechnics , an institution that specialise in one technical discipline e.g Civil engineering.

At Parity, you can't expect somebody who is theoretically, conceptually and pragmatically oriented to be at the same level with someone who is much pragmatically oriented with little conceptualizing[/b]
