So the country actually has an educational system?
Most Degree holders in Nigeria are educated-illiterates, nothing will change!

shhhhuhh! you no talk of stomach system na education u see talk. No be psn wey belle full dey read book?
Covid has really exposed alot to d masses who can see wht goes on. We got three more miserable yrs to endure this everyday terrible and grindin nepotism towards some regions here.
Go to d travel ways yu see them truckin cement while they say yu are on lockdown? God help out!

My suggestion may sound ridiculous but then we are in, well, extraordinary times.

It also requires a bit of parental sacrifices.

Children themselves have to be a little self motivated — a trait that is required for high success in life(they may as well start developing it now).

Parents need ;

A PC /workstations per child (assuming they currently don't have)— preferably in a secluded environment.

Good seats.

Internet connectivity (with substantial data subscription) - ISPs have various "unlimited" monthly plans priced within the N20k - 30k band.

Now the real deal;

* Note that my brief is specifically aimed at the 6,3,3 cadres of our 6,3,3,4/5 system— university undergraduates should know what to read.

Parents may choose any of the following hubs to create interactive learning paths for their wards.

1. Www.Brilliant.org (specifically for the sciences but a very rich resources) costs about N10k per year per child.

2. Khanacademy.org (a free online learning hub).

3. Curriculumpathways.com (Jim goodnight of SAS created this lovely resource to help the American schooling child. It's great/interactive).— downside being, social studies and history are geared towards the USA and different from our syllabus.

4. ULesson.com looks good too — it'll cost you about
Though and it is targeted at the Senior secondary school cadre. It also has a Nigerian relevant syllabus.but a bit limited to the core subjects.

Parents can creat accounts for their wards on these platforms (any) and guide the children along relevant school course work.
Some of these platforms are interactive and create a gamified (rewarding) experience as the children learn.

Parents should welcome questions from kids and probably is the opportunity to know somethings they probably don't yet

Parents may block access to other websites that create distracting tendencies i.e Facebook,YouTube, Twitter etc.

Other costs are Power, Data plans. E.t.c.
Funnily these costs aren't up to the average cost of tuition in a private primary/secondary institution— excluding other school costs.

That's because the real cost is Focus & discipline.

I have been confident that "education without school" was an achievable possibility most of us never considered for our children (some argue that home schooling create social deficiencies in a child's life- due to limited interaction with peers in school settings) but if there was ever a time to put it to test tis now.

Nothing will happen, could remember when my institution went on strike for 8month strike 2 times consecutively yet we still wrote exam without revision. LAUTECH I hail thee

Hello guys,

We have been on lockdown for some weeks now, because of this evil pandemic ravagin' the world not just nigeria only,

My questions are:

1) If this lockdown should continue, how are schools going to open since we don't have an online system?

2) Will this not lead to a massive dropout from schools, due to poverty, insecurity and unseriousness?

3) All the parent in the house, how have you made sure your child is academically active despite not going to school?

4) Do you think this lockdown is the best and only solution?

Nigerians share your view.

Dead people don't go to school, be alive first

When there was no lockdown nko?

Hungry is real, someone should help me please. Nothing is too small

Reason well. there is no lockdown Just a desease that want to kill us and we pack ourselves and hide.

If the desease have his way, tthat could mean the end of our existence. Which mean no consciousness as we know it. Which mean no talk of education.

Some of you don't seem to grasp the intentions of this sickness. Them no come play.

You are a poor man who sees Death as a better option

no b who get life dey go school? instead of una to dey pray to survive this Earth cleansing, na school u dey think about

Massive dropouts(from tertiary institutions) is what we really need.

Our overloaded educational system churning out incompetent graduates
must be reformed.

This is the age of skill and not certificates.

Abeg make coro go first.We go take am like ASUU strike.

Federal ministry of education should develop a Learning Management System for all to connect, teach and learn

Consider your state of health if this lockdown continues. Sedentary lifestyle kills slowly.

That's like asking the Oil Majors to build an Electric vehicle or better still asking top restaurant chefs to teach us all to cook effectively.

Fear is behind most lockdowns, Trump is taking a daring step to reopen American economy.If we refuse to face our fear there's no way we can face out our fear.

HelpforTony:
Nawa o, that's actually a very important observation. My little nieces and nephews, I'm worried about them

Worry not. Told my kids to play as they wish.
Most billionaires are school drop out. It is not like it's their fault. Education is the last thing on my mind now.

Bleep the lockdown... I gain admission 2013 school opened 2014 spent almost 7months nationwide strike. Whose benefit was that. But unto this is for me and you.
Let's school remain closed

I believe the federal and state governments have done a bit to avoid this by organising state sponsored tutorials on radios And state owned television, speaking for our state though.

SSam01:
The first thing that will open in May 2020 in the US according to President Trump is schools and day care center because parents have admitted all their kids are crackheads and Teachers are superheroes

Watch these videos also. The lockdown is almost over

There is nothing on that Trump video that backs up what you just wrote there.

It will be just like when teachers used to go on persistent strikes. The school calender will be amended.

Taaaaa

..but is it not only the living that will be in school?

Nothing will happen. ASUU went on strike for[b] one year[/b] during Abacha regime and nothing happened.

Nigerians share your view.

1: Some schools have had an online system before lock-down so the kids are very much engaged from 9am to 2pm
2: Education otherwise is already in tatters - it was found out that expensive schools pass their students because they do not want to loose patronage. this is very evident when they take summer camps and return poor results when compared with kids abroad.
3: Register on NCEE website for Past Questions, Use Youtube Education Channel, Read Tetbooks
4: Parents should learn to use Technology - there is no other way and no excuse as the future is already here, as a parent if you have ignored this because you think it is for millennials, prepare to start struggling with non-skilled work rather than an office work - knowing how to use excel and word is no longer the norm, you need to integrate social, data and security by default

The fact is that the virus is not going anytime soon so lockdown is here to stay. For education system, Nigerians (parents, school owner's, all stakeholders in education system) are allergic to using and incorporating education technology platforms into there school activities.

So don't bother about what will happen to our nothing to write home about education system. Focus more on your sustenance till the corona virus wave is put under control.

Use your children learning materials to teach them at home.
