Education / On Disparity Between Bsc. And HND by 2old4that(m): 10:24am On Aug 15, 2013
For a long time, the status of Higher National Diploma (HND) holders has always been considered inferior in every facet of our national life. Everywhere and in every thing, they were relegated. In the labour market, HND holders are made to regret having pursued such a programme.

If we deny knowledge of this ugly trend in the wheel of national development, then we are entangled in the web of self-deception.

A lot of damage has been done to Nigeria which may not be conveniently recorded on paper. Aside stringents and competitive admission guidelines, which have alienated many applicants and frustrated their ambition to be admitted into the university, several other academic injuries have been visited on polytechnic students through this ugly trend.

It is no surprise that we now have a steady decline in technical education as a result of loss of confidence in HND programmes. The situation has increased the rate of unemployment of HND degree holders in the country.

While ther had been several attempts to eliminate this discrimination, the boldest step taken so far is the one credited to the regime of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. In 2005, he set up committees to review the ugly trend, with a view to ending it.

Also, at the meeting of the National Universities Commission (NUC) on June 16, 2009, a decision to eliminate the disparity was reached. This was to take effect from that same year but the then Head of Service of the Federation, Mr. Stephen Oronsaye, shocked the nation by flagrantly refusing to pass circular to that effect.

"B.Sc. is not equivalent to HND," he said.
This statement shocked many Nigerians, especially the chairman, National Association of Technologists in Engineering (NATE), Sir Leo Okereke.

Okereke through the NATE General Secretary, Mr. Akeem Adeniji, wrote an open letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, on Oronsaye's utterances. Up till now, nothing has been done to correct the anomaly.

It is high time we made reason and not sentiment to drive our education policies. We must discountenance the fact that a BSc. degree holder is better than a polytechnic graduate. Come to think of it, how befitting is the superlative adjective "best" to describe BSc. certificate? Is it really the best for a developing nation such as Nigeria? Have we forgotten the fact that square and a rhombus of equal side have equal area despite the difference in their shapes and angular configuration?

Can the neutrality of an atom be possible if either of the protons or electrons is missing? For God sake, BSc and HND are just like two vectors of equal magnitude and direction differing only in nomenclature and unit. The BSc. certificate can only be the best in a country where white papers, lengthy theories, esoteric formula and equations are able to erect structures, run turbines and distribute power without the pragmatic involvement of technologists.
But, of what relevance are the gigantic theories and formulae to Nigeria without application? What is the significance of the Euler's theories of buckling load to Nigeria when buildings and other structures keep collapsing? How can we appreciate the concepts of metallurgical studies when the Ajaokuta Steel Company has been in indefinite coma; or the Delta Steel Company, which has been in partial paralysis? It is the technologists that can make all these sectors work.

I will encourage all polytechnic and monotechnic students and graduates not to give up on their dreams to give Nigeria a turn-around in technology. The disparity between their certificate and the BSc. should not be a setback to be committed to excellence and hardwork. Hopefully, the story will change.

Lastly, I wish to appeal that technically-minded citizens should be actively involved in key decision affecting education and civil service. The top policy makers in Nigeria are the oxygen that keeps the combustion of this ugly trend on. It is high time we choose the correct drill bits for the correct holes, because until the rotten tooth is pulled, the mouth will continue to chew with caution.

Don't you know the two petitioners are criminals too.
Any one who gives bribe can also take it!

Sure.
But they can still be given the job after serving their own prison terms.
Atleast they did the right thing bringing the story to limelight.

I finishd mine 2010/2011. I'd knew it was a waste of time long before I embark on it, base on d experiences of others I av seen. So I didn't really fancy anything about it. Even though I served in my choice location.

Often times they run out of activities in d camp in three good weeks.

Or better still just allow her talk till fade. Cos d more u respond, d more new points swims to her head.

Its funny how Mr. Jonathan and his advisers keep shouting jobs for Nigerian youth while he will turn back and cornered those jobs to his family members, relatives and croonies. Newspaper headlines should rather read "GEJ vows to create jobs for his immediate families in 2013".
