Is the entry requirement the same for Universities and Polytechnics? Is the course content the same?
So why expect them to handle the same job descriptions.

In Engineering the hierarchy is Engineers--Technologist--Technicians--Craftsmen--Artisans

The qualification for each is clear and the roles they play are quite different and one cannot be substituted for the other.There may be overlaps in reality, but Imagine Technicians insisting to also carry the title Engr.
HND/Technologist need not have inferiority complex, there is dignity in labour.

. I quite understood your saying but it is very unfortunate that Nigeria graduates especially those with Bachelor Degrees project ego without actually showcasing the qualities of having such degrees. Though, by principle of Nigeria education curricula, BSc is rated higher than HND but many so called degree holders are really not meeting up; only putting up ego of having the certificate. All you have said is based on theories but contrary is the case in practice. If you could recall, Nigeria Society of Engineers once allowed HND holders to pass through graduateship examinations set by the body. To the dismay of many, the examinations were rubbished by many HND holders thereby qualifying them for corporate membership cadre of the institution. COREN had no option registering those in that category as qualified engineers. When such was noticed, they quickly moved on scrapping the examination. I was fortunate to be part of the team. As far as I am concerned, many of my collegues having B. Eng degrees are not performing better than I do in engineering design, leadership and management. In fact, some are not even meeting up what is expected of them. If Polytechnic education is strenghtened in Nigeria, brilliant minds will excel their counterparts in the universities. Many foreign polytechnics award degrees equivalent to universities with no iota of discrimination.I will not mince words by telling you that some polytechnic graduates are also a big shame to the their respective institutions while many polytechnics have no standards at all. I am of the opinion that the two set of graduates(degrees and HND) be tried in their respective offices before promotion. Whoever is not meeting up could be set aside. They should be given the right to aspire to the highest cadre so far they meet up the requirement. My friend, I still hold Bachelor Degree in Communication Technology coupled with my HND in Electrical Engineering. Let us drop discrimination but root for the best brains in the country. I do hope you will strongly believe that best brains are not limited to university system. Thank you.

It is quite unfortunate to be asking such question on a platform as this. This shows a declined morality despite being a virgin at your age when the entire world is languishing in prosmicuity. Do you know that it is a great price, treasured to keep your virginity! You are planning to sell your pride at no cost to a boyfriend who may not marry you later in life. Even if he will marry you thereafter, it is absolutely bad of you to give your pride out.

Of course the world has declined so terribly! I perceive that the calibers of peers you keep are influencing you. It sadden to heart to call your parents ''Old fashioned''. With your so called name you tagged them, you came to this world through them and of course, they are wisdom personified compared to your foolish wisdom learnt from your peers. You wouldn't approach them because you know quite well that what you are about to do is not really right and no sane mother would support you.

It seems I'm tough in correction, it will do you good for the rest of your life. I intentionally registered on nairaland to assist those who are in the dungeon like you. If I were to marry at the age of 25 , I would have given birth to someone of your age. Take this counsel with open heart and be happy in life. Half a word is sufficient for the wise. Thanks and God bless you.

I can see that #Dullard has been modified to #president. Weldone mods, I can see ur handiwork.

It is ungodly calling a voted president of ur country ''a dullard''. Let us desist from this childish attitude for God's sake.
