"EDUCATION IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON WITH WHICH YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD"....NELSON MANDELA.

OVER TIME,THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATIONS HAS FAILED TO GIVE EDUCATION THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES WHICH OVER THE YEARS HAS CULMINATED IN THE SLOW,GRADUAL BUT SURE DECAY OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM WHICH IN TURN IS NOW MANIFEST IN OUR SOCIETY WITH THE INCREASING LEVEL OF VARIOUS SOCIETAL ILLS LIKE CORRUPTION, PROSTITUTION, RITUAL KILLINGS, AND MANY OTHERS PLAGUING OUR SOCIETY TODAY.

I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN NOT REGULATE THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR JUST LIKE THE OIL SECTOR WHERE BOTH INDEPENDENT AND BLACK MARKETERS OF PMS,DIESEL AND EVEN KEROSENE NOW SELL AT THE SAME OR ALMOST SAME RATE.

I THINK THIS IS AN OPTION THE GOVERNMENT BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL WILL HAVE TO EXPLORE BY GOING INTO A DIALOGUE OR DISCUSSION WITH THE NUMEROUS OWNERS OF BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS UNDER ONE UMBRELLA AT THE END OF WHICH A FIXED AMOUNT WILL BE ADOPTED AND IMPLEMENTED TO BE PAID AS SCHOOL FEES BY STUDENTS AT VARIOUS LEVELS (PRIMARY,SECONDARY AND TERTIARY).

SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT SUCCEED IN IMPLEMENTING THIS, I THINK IT WILL CREATE A HEALTHY COMPETITION BETWEEN SCHOOLS AT ALL LEVELS(PRIMARY,SECONDARY AND TERTIARY) WHERE STUDENTS WILL GET QUALITY EDUCATION AT MODERATE FEE,ELIMINATE CONSTANT STRIKES AND THE OUTRAGEOUS FEES BEEN PAID AS SCHOOL FEES WITH YET NOTHING TO SHOW.

LET'S GIVE OUR EDUCATION A NEW FACE!!!
