Very well LARRYDKING, it is not to me going by what persist in the Nigeria society.
"UNEMPLOYMENT", that is the word and not just because there are no jobs but because there are no qualities to take over the jobs. In my submissions i differentiated between graduate and quintessential graduate, and Ade is a graduate according to our society now. If you want to be employed then you must give more than you learned in class.

Even the Educational bodies in Nigeria agrees with me and that is why they introduced ENTREPRENEURIAL courses as an alternative to what you learn in class. Mind you that is a new innovation that is yet to produce a result.

Thank You.

It is LASU not UNILAG. Lol!

Sorry about the mix up with the school name. My question is yet to be answered at timidlaw. Thanks

horlapelumi:


I concur to your idea of a comeback. Its really an interesting topic that needs more dealings than we have done. I would expect to see that through another platform. I would love to come over the topic again and thank you for this Sir!

LARRYDKING:


Yet to produce any result? I took entrepreneurship as a course when I was in the poly and have a certificate for it. some of my friends now make soaps, bags and sandals from the knowledge gained. I think we should give credit to the institution for providing facilities to enhance the practical knowledge.

some schools offer same course and their graduates have nothing to show for it eg all private polys. In one way or the other, our institutions play a large role in making us.

thank u.

I agree totally LARRYDKING. But what am saying is what you are saying, let me quote you; "some schools offer same course and their graduates have nothing to show for it eg all private polys"

let me drop my typing fingers with that.

Thank You.

Please participants clear up all questions, we are rounding up... 20mims more....

ahmanim:
@ horlapelumi, do you think a quintessential graduate is 100% a student's effort?

Freemanan:


Most outstanding inventors and men in history never had formal education. Infact, the ancient period was more of self education and discovery, case in point, Archimedes, Socrates, DaVinci, etc.... Does this not show educational institutions as a whole is overrated

asanwaph:
My question goes to timidlaw. If you are saying that the quintessential graduate is a product of self development, why then do we have list of top Nigerian universities and not the list of top Nigerian student? Why did you choose to attend unilag instead being at home and get your certificate at the end of the day?

Awesome!!!! First I have 5 years to use in the University, My Great Lasu.

As much as i have written to support my claims, i have never painted any institutions black. Maybe you should have cautioned the organizers at the first place for bringing up such topic which i believe must have ignite something in everyone today including you or blame them for giving me that side to handle (no offence though). I said that to say, you school didn't teach you to use nairaland neither does mine but here you are reading and learning. In summary, no school is bad, they can only give what they have but students have the choice of giving themselves betters and that is difference between graduates and quintessential graduates.

Thank you

LARRYDKING:


U could be outstanding too staying at home without formal education, why did u choose to go to school?

Freemanan:

I went to school because of societal adjustment to the belief that higher institutions guarantee good jobs....


Answer my question please.

Thanks

LARRYDKING:


If u went to sch due to societal adjustment, that's misplacement of priority, sir.

Ur question is a rhetorical one, it doesn't call for an answer.

I hope you won't be using shorthand tomorrow? Hmm

sammyscholar:
Given a stance, that in reality, is not your position/belief is not enough to fault this debate.

Now, to my question.

It is no news to all and sundry that some of the employers out there have preference for graduates of certain schools. What can you say about that? What has those schools done differently. What have they imparted into their students? Is it just a coincidence that their students quintessential - the school has imparted nothing?

FrancisTony:

horlapelumi:


The reason for the preferential treatment is not for me to decide sir! but i see that as glory from name rather than quality.

Thank you
