Another good point you left out is the entry requirements of polytechnics. minimum of 4 credits as against Universities' 5 credits.

Polytechnics nowadays are poo!

I don't know about the 19's, but the present polytechnics in Nigeria are nothing but overrated secondary schools. This does not even exclude the FG owned Polytechnics.

To start off :

*Polytechnics are overcrowded : The urge for naive secondary school leavers to leave home to a higher institution makes most percentage of them resort to Polytechnics after failed admission process/exercise in Universities. This has made most polytechnics turn into a money making venture where different unknown,unaccredited,unapproved and unofficial undergraduate programs take place to admit more than their carrying capacity. Most of these programmes are often termed DPP,DPA (daily UG part-time programmes)

*Polytechnics are lowly funded : It's a clear/undeniable truth that the educational sector gets poorly funded by FG. The case is worse with polytechnics as they are often neglected when it comes to allocation of funds to tertiary institutions.


AS I TYPE THIS TO YOU, OVER 1,200 STUDENTS ARE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MASS COMMUNICATION, THE POLYTECHNIC, IBADAN ND 1 (WHICH IS JUST A CLASS) WITH LESS THAN 10 TOTAL LECTURERS IN THE WHOLE OF THE DEPARTMENT. that's almost half of the total number of students admitted for UG programmes in the University of Ibadan.

Like I said earlier, Polytechnics are poo!!!
