No need for name calling  we can have a discussing without sounding like some wannabe street thug.

I was  born in Jos and still have extended family in Jos. My uncle  owns a couple of shops in the delimi and nasarawa areas of just, two years ago he lost both shops, just last weekend he lost his wife and two kids, in the bus they set ablaze for no reason, do you think people like my uncle cares about who controls the oil in Nigeria anymore?

I see this line of reasoning persists, despite my earlier correction about the narrow scope these 2 strands form within the system you referred me onto.
Look, I would concede it is fine to have a private company administering these tests in schools, to reduce attendant costs, but see little merit in running them beyond age 11 (primary schools).

n case you missed it, I was not kidding earlier when I described a failure rate of 75% as a human-rights issue; for the simply reason that society become even more improverished because so many of our youth are considered failures!
We are talking about an issue that has far reaching ramifications here, one  that invariably shapes socio-policy whether you believe it or not.

My own argument has been that we need to also design a system that would take care of those students that are non-academic and channel such students to technical  and commercial colleges.
We also need to test numeracy and literacy skills of all students at different stages of thier primary and secondary school education.

ACN should control the west APGA east and ANPP north. middle bel niger delta split

2ndThought:
To be clear, I see better value in the baccalaureate system obtainable elsewhere in Europe and would sooner foist a tailor-made version of this on Nigeria, if I had my way.

alj harem1:
and you talk as if you are proud of it a barbaric act that should be condemned

Gbawe:
Regardless of what the Party says in public about zoning the ACN will go with a Northern Presidential candidate and a Southern VP. Nothing will change that formula . Not even the allure of an incumbent President.

Its a common knowledge that the military (infantry) is hausa dominated .

Maybe there a some things you have overlooked. Administative costs for one

and also the fact that the X NAIRA may not be enough to pay for what services the student actually receives from the private school.

Presumably this school would operate in a competitive market and so would have to ensure that it delivers quality services to its clients.
So who pays this differential?

"As much as I believe I could be the person who could bring change in my country, I'm not a selfish person, I'm certainly a person who will play as a team to bring change in our country, I have no difficulties with that," Ribadu told Reuters.

tensor777:
Crucially who is going to pay for all this since it would be much more expensive to run and operate than the current system

I try to stay away from this thread, it's just not the same.

Man, Chicago bullshit[i]s[/i] are up there nowadays, I'm liking em a little.

tensor777:
I think that is certainly the way to go in the long-term.
The key question is does Nigeria have the kind of integrated financial and accounting system which would be a prerequisite for such avoucher system.

A more serious issue is the schools in the rural areas. Why would any private investor want to build a for profit school there. Would all the students attending such schools be on vouchers? Then is such a school still private?

kcjazz:
All private schools are not equal. I attended a private university in Nigeria and I can say some of my lecturers could warrant some kind of fee refund lol. Most people prefer public schools rather than private employment, so the field is tough for private owners and they could be forced to cut corners. I respect catholic private schools though.
