INVEST IN CHILDREN IN AFRICA TO GET MORE VALUES THAN FOREIGN TRAINED

A country spending more of its income training foreign students than local students cannot prosper. We rightfully levy financial burden and enough stress on ourselves to make sure our children turn out better than we do. Times have changed and we complained that there are very few good schools like we used to have based on what we disproportionately spend on local compared to foreign students. Many started in Mission or Government primary schools in Lagos and moved on to Achimota College in Accra or vice versa. Out of these, others proceeded to Fourah Bay College or Makerere University without breaking Central Banks.

We could get a good education without leaving Africa then. You do not even have to be born lucky or from filthy rich families to get good education. Students that left Africa had foreign scholarships and very few could afford private sponsors. There are more private students now overseas, draining our treasuries than those on scholarships. Moving fast along, our school standards have fallen because politicians fail to invest in them. Some of the Mission schools were taken over based on focused education instead of religious indoctrination; but without funds. Unfortunately, some Mission schools are sowing religious discords using students.
