Education / Save Federal Polytechnic, Oko. by academician: 12:55am On Sep 05, 2014 |
I am not a student of the aforementioned school but i have lots of friends there. Based on what they usually say, every lecturer in the school has a text book to his name. they (the lecturers) make the purchase of their textbooks mandatory. students who fail to purchase these books, as a consequence, are indicted by way of making them carry the course to which the text book is related over. In a semester, a student ends up buying textbooks that atleast match up to the number of courses he or she is offering. This is worrisome due to the reasons given below: 1. Mediocre texts: Most of the books written by these lecturers aren't just good enough because they are not anywhere close to standard. i can attest to this because i have read lots of them.The reason for the books not being up to standard is not far fetched; these lecturers don't write these texts to contribute their quota to the body of knowledge. They just deploy these books as means to extort money from their rather helpless/ voiceless students. these are books that would likely sit on the shelf for ages in a normal bookshop due to their mediocrity and lack of good content. Most of them just quote other authors and hardly make any sentence of their own. to do small research na wahala. 2. The students don't read: To ensure they punish those that do not buy their texts, they often give assignments that are submitted alongside the books bought with every students' name written on his or her own clearly. 3. prostitution: female students resort to prostitution to raise money for the books. my questions are: are the authorities not aware of this? how can we curb this extorticism? |
