PStylish: Good.Very good.
Its high the wheat was separated from the chaff.
Those part time students do close to nothing.And to think they have started finding their way by hook or crook into the prestigious NYSC scheme make this pronouncement very timely and welcome.

A serious intending graduate must sit his as.s in school through the 4,5,6 or 7 years it demands.

NO MORE! NO LESS!!

If the Part time program is successfully stopped, the only alternative for those who can't go for full time courses will be the NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY (NOUN). It is a pet project of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. There will be a massive rise in admission rate in this pet project.

okeyxyz: Already people are jumping on the bandwagon to say good "good job, well done", how does this or how do they intent to tackle the massive dearth of required skills for economic viability?



So, what's the alternative? what is wrong with having more than 20% as part-timers? why stop satellite campuses? what are the impacts on quality of education? Have they proposed better ways to deliver quality university/college education in a flexible manner to the teeming population of nigerians who need these skills to gain competitive-advantages? Once again, it seems we apply the same "smash & destroy" nigerian mentality, kick against any form of innovation, if it has any faults, ban it & disregard it's advantages & merits. Of course there are faults with any method to deliver education, but we should be looking for ways to improve & properly regulate them, rather than banning.

ye2nday: . i think because U̶̲̥̅̊ were opportuned to go through UME made U̶̲̥̅̊ forget that its not everyone that had that opportunity. Some didn't have any choice than to do it. and mind you there are some who don't have sponsors and had to work and study to make through in life. So you have to think very well before posting!

Ournaija: What a shame! we are here jubilating NUC mediocrity. Am surprised that most of us jubilating here are even so called full timers. The job of NUC is not about banning legitimate programme.

There job is to ensure delivering of quality education in our Varsities. Why not suspend part time programmes in Schools that are ill equipped for such? Schools like Unilag and Yabatech has solid part time programs going on in their campuses. Do you know how many students will be denied the opportunity to gain from such programmes? The solution is not about throwing the baby away with the bath water.

I expect Okojie to appoints people that will monitor part time programmes in our Schools but my fear is that they may end up collecting bribes.
