Yeah, you are right. But in the interim, maybe make the Federal Universities expensive and the state universities cheap for the indigenes and cutthroat for out of states students.

diegwu02:
The existing Federal Universities should be Privatized.
We cant have Students paying a paltry $55.21 (N20,000) for a full year and expect our schools to be like Yale or Harvard. We re kidding ourselves.
Subsidized Tuition for British Citizen in UK colleges still cost up to E10,000 pounds.

At least 13,423 Nigerian students currently studying in the U.S. contributed 514 million dollars to the U.S. economy in 2018, according to official data.

The data is contained in the 2019 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange released by the Institute of International Education (IIE) and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The report indicates that Nigeria is the 11th leading place of origin for foreign students in the U.S. as of the 2018/2019 session.

It accounts for 1.2 per cent of the total number of 1,095,299 international students in the country.

A breakdown of the figure shows that 5,689 of the Nigerian students are at the undergraduate level, 5,274 at the graduate level, 367 at the non-degree students, and 2,093 on Optional Practical Training (OPT).

According to Wikipedia, OPT is a period during which undergraduate and graduate students work for one year on a student visa toward acquiring practical training to complement their education.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Nigeria is the only African country in the top 20 places of origin for international students in the U.S.

China holds the top position with 369,548 students, followed by India with 202,014, South Korea (52,250), Saudi Arabia (37,080), and Canada rounding out the top five with 26,122 students.

According to the report, international students account for 5.5 per cent of the total U.S. higher education population.

Citing data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, the report said that foreign students contributed 44.7 billion dollars to the U.S. economy in 2018, an increase of 5.5 per cent from the previous year.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are the top choices of international students with 52 per cent of the total studying in those fields, according to the report.

The report shows that out of 341,751 U.S. citizens studying abroad in 2017/18, Nigeria hosted 34 making it the 130th destination for American students.

The UK, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Ireland, China, Australia, Costa Rica, and Japan were the top 10 study destinations for American citizens, hosting an average of 18,000 students each.

South Africa occupies the 11th position on the table as host to 6,001 American students in 2017/18.

“We are happy to see the continued growth in the number of international students in the United States and U.S. students studying abroad,” said Marie Royce, Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Speaking at the launch of the report in Washington, Royce said that promoting the mobility of international students remained a top priority for the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

“We want even more students in the future to see the U.S. as the best destination to earn their degrees.

“International exchange makes our colleges and universities more dynamic for all students.

“Education at a U.S. institution can have a transformative effect for international students, just like study abroad experiences can for U.S. students,” she said.

From the figure above, Nigeria is the only African country with the wide spread of student in the white country.

Now back home, calculate the total number of prominent politicians, then calculate the number of their children each, then you will know why our home base educational institutions are not working. FrustratedSoul

No Wander politicians are using home school guys, as their foot men during election period.
This is the way we see it since 1960.
So those that has gone to learn should comeback and stabilise the home system of education

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


Let me tell you this white people are just taking Nigerians money and giving them certificate but does Nigerians know nothing when they get to the employment area. Look at Timothy stamps the former educational minister of UK under Margaret Thatcher he confessed that Britain was taking money from African students and letting them do courses in a very short time to give them certificate so that they go back to their country. It's all about the money in UK and America Nigerians have the highest unemployment rate and in America it is nearly the same so this certificate don't really mean anything because when they go for job interview they cannot pass. Most of the Nigeria schooling here and not really into education they are more for green card

agbajor27:

wages, social amenities and other social cushions should be at par with those countries first, before you talk of hiking tuition fees.

Sirvingeo:
Those 34 American citizens that left USA to school in Nigeria are they really normal ?

SUFFERInSMILIIN:

This is extremely poor for the United States of America. Ghana is raking in more than a billion US dollar per year for Nigerian students. South Africa is raking in more than 600 million u.s. dollar a Year from Nigeria student. So what is going on with Nigerian students in America don't they have money.

spirul77:
I know we have up to 20,000 American citizens studying in Nigeria, about 1000 are in Ambrose Alli University, ekpoma.

I have a very strong headache....

lefulefu:
is it ur regular typical nigerian univ they schooled or a foreign operated univ in nigeria?

Sirvingeo:

ok I understand now.

DonFreshmoney:
This is more than Nigeria education budget for 3 years combined....

Zooposki:


Exactly. Nigerians should strengthen her institutions to stop all the capital flight.

naijadrivablog:
And the colonialism continues because former colonies can't govern themselves.

osaggy:


Wrong mentality and approach. How many average Nigerians can afford money for private schools. All the money that have been invested in Nigeria...where has it ended?

agbajor27:

darkelf:


Why are you guys this wicked?

Those Scandinavian countries giving their citizens free quality education, do their leaders have two heads?

How many civil servants can afford $10,000 per year? How many of them make up to that?

Do you want patents to steal to send kids to school? So that you will be the same person criticizing them for corruption?

Make una dey use una head abeg.

CodeTemplar:
Labour market is a open market and your idea of tying the wage of labour market to school fee is beggarly at best. Govt does not give birth to children, people do.

agbajor27:

wat i mean is dat der are things to put in place first before copying the kinda fees students pay in doz countries. Like, for instance, do we have a proper student loan system in place in nigeria? Datz just one aspect o. The wage i am referring to der is minimum wage.
