The entire education system is useless. The most useless of them all is the Nigerian philosophy of education. Our education is neither tailored to meet our peculiar needs nor implemented in the interest of the students.

As a professional educationist, I can boldly state that going beyond JSS3 in Nigeria is a total waste of time and resources

santos247:


This is false.
I was equally miffed when I saw the new CCMA document. NUC powered Professor Okebukola to embark on the CCMA project. Key stakeholders were engaged at the earlier stages but left out during the critical review and finalisation stages.
This CCMA is one of the anyhowness of our Nigerian system

Only a few will understand the facts u are saying...Nigeria is just running a one way traffic type of educational system bastardized by policy makers like ASUU. They are bent at undermining the nation educational system and that is the reason they go against government progressive policies all the time. ASUU ought to be the next to be scrapped honestly.

uncleck:

There is no "progressive government policy" especially in the area of education. Have you gone through Nigerian policy on education before?

ebenholer2:
Now It is evident that ASUU are parts of this nation failure and should be scrapped fortwit. Only a daft will fail to know that the standard of education under their watch has become watered, students time is being wasted on cognitive frivolities why their mates excel exponentially in foreign universities. What a pity.

ASUU may have a point or two but are still a huge bottleneck to good education.
The NUC is too stiff in my opinion and dictating 70% of courses is too high.

ebenholer2:

May I inform you that u are wrong too...it is the right of NUC headship to spearhead any of such review since ASUU has been allotted their portion of duty. I think the known grievances of ASUU should clearly be why they were not given 70% stake too so as to mesmerize the whole process as usual. How can ASUU prove their effectiveness when many graduates are only cognitively developed under their watch while they end up being liabilities to the nation and we have daft in the leadership position of the nation who we see rewarding cognitiveness while creativity are left unrewarded or undermined.

This post aptly explains ASUU's position on CCMAS. The Nigerian university system actually lacks competent and talented teachers. Unfortunately, what it will take to have competent and talented teachers is quite complicated. As long as every person is paid same salary, no lecturer will be motivated to develop competency. A situation where every PhD Senior Lecturer is paid the same salary scale. A PhD in Computer Science that has world class certification in software development, machine learning, etc, is paid the same salary with PhD in Sociology without any proven practical competency; why should any lecturer aspire to be practically competent?

ebenholer2:

The Nigeria policy on education should not be strange to me cos I am very much familiar with it. But do u know that such policy was put together by all stakeholders that include many ASUU membership, and its failure was because it was put together under inefficiency, and so it is bound to fail.

What matters is the improvement in the quality of what is currently been delivered!

This kind your theory has never worked for years. Hiring talented and competent teachers are so easy and not as complicated as you thought. First of all, teaching and lecturing is about passion and not necessarily about money. There are qualify people outside burning with passion to teach even if you pay them N50k per month. Even if you like, pay each teacher with no passion N500 million per month, they will still come back to tell government that the money is not enough without any result to show for it.

Universities are only after title and numbers of theoretical academic papers published without paying attention to talent to teach. What is the essence of hiring a professor or Dr in the university who can't transmit knowledge he/she has acquired over the years to younger generation? Many professors and Drs will teach two hours lecture, but students they teach cann't pick anything useful out of their lectures. If a secondary school student can transfer little knowledge he/she has to others without speaking big grammar, that is a functional professor. To hire competent teachers, let them teach students publicly before they are hired while students cast votes and comment on their ability to teach dullest to understand difficult content given to them.

By the time they are made to teach about five categories of students with varying degrees of assimilation, lecturers that succeed should be hired. Competent lecturers to be hired should have academic qualification, practical industrial experiences and talent to teach even the dullest in the class. Many of ASSU lecturers don't have practical industrial experiences, many have never worked in the industries for one day, but they want to teach students to go to industries they have never been to. How will our education system work?

How many lecturers that are teaching computer science for example have even developed one single application individually that they can currently point to in the market, and they want to graduate another sets of students as future Billgates? You can't give what you don't have! How many salary increment have been done since Obasanjo era with hope that it will make lecturers become more functional? What improvement has increase in salary brought to our educational system than trying to make government bankrupt through persistent strike if national cake is not shared again and again to them? We must change the system, we need passionate and talented teachers and not money oriented teachers

I'm quite surprised that ASUU is rejecting CCMAS. CCMAS has whittled down general studies credits from 36 to 12, which thereby creates more room for departments to teach students the main course from first year. The currently existing curriculum fills the first two years with so many irrelevant general studies courses. The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, started the idea of general studies courses; but when I was a UNN student years ago, we only had GS 101, 103, 105 and 207. NUC BMAS adopted GS courses and escalated GS courses to cover 36 credit units, which suffocates the main course of study. In the CCMAS, GS courses cover only 12 credit units, leaving room for more main course credits.

Isobug:
There's nothing I hate like Nigeria Higher institution curriculum.
In Europe,US,Asia and even Some Africa countries, the curriculum start teaching the core and main rudiments of the course in question right from your first semester, first year till graduation but in Nigeria, they will carry all sought of irrelevant courses to load you and leave the main course you came to study.

Isobug:

Exactly.....I don't really know what is wrong with the ASUU. when they are needed you won't see them

mushroomFarm:

You are right. Even from preparatory year for medicine we were already learning gastrulation (pregnancy formation) and our courses are only restricted to related medical courses. In first year medicine there are only four courses in each semester...all medical related.

FreeStuffsNG:
ASUU was part of the whole process from start to finish.

eldeens:


Just ask them who developed the CCMAS?
Academic Professors from different area of specialty were assembled to develop the document who are also members of ASUU.
