[b]for HND/B.sc disparity .....

I was once in Polytechnic before porting to uni thus I have experienced both Institutions and I can tell you the condition and parameters of learning in both Institution differs as far as academic is concern.

B.sc is Bachelor of Science ...which implies you have been "theoretically, conceptually and pragmatically" equipped to relate with modalities of your discipline while HND , Higher National Diploma implied you have been pragmatically (practically) equipped to relate with modalities in your discipline as theoretically and conceptually evolved by a B.sc/M.sc/PhD holder

Polytechnics in a bid to make more money has delved into discipline they don't have resources to undertake .....

at parity, You can't compare somebody who has been tutored by professors with somebody who hardly passed through a PhD holder in his/her entire academic life.


Polytechnic is a technical school from her name "technics" the poly implies the discipline in such Institution is more than one technical discipline e.g Civil engineering, Elect elect , Mech eng etc ..... we also have monotechnics , an institution that specialise in one technical discipline e.g Civil engineering.

At Parity, you can't expect somebody who is theoretically, conceptually and pragmatically oriented to be at the same level with someone who is much pragmatically oriented with little conceptualizing and theoretical underpinnings, framework s and background[/b] .......

Please learn things yourself before you dabble into conclusions. Those people who gives Poly 70,000 and B.sc 120,000 are not fo.ol and it is not as if they don't know what they are doing .

You can't compare B.sc accounting/M.sc Accounting/PhD Accounting with a Chartered Accountant in terms of training received and pay ...... the PhD/B.sc/M.sc are academic orientations while ICAN is a professional/Practical orientation that is why HND holders in accounting excel well in ICAN than B.sc Accounting at parity

if you have HND , technical orientation before you can dabble into academic orientation , you would convert you technical knowledge at PGD (Post Graduate Diploma) schools then you move into M.Sc while a B.sc holder will move straight into M.Sc unless you carry third class/pass then you also get to retrained at PGD schools before moving up academic ladder.

Education is more than practical, some people evolve these courses we are studying from great effort of research and contributions to knowledge through strong theories , conceptualisations and empirical issues to allow real life relationships between concpets and theories.

It is quite embarrassing in Nigeria for some people to just enter into a school without knowing, understanding and preparing for the kind of knowledge to be exposed to ..... You don't just go to school without understanding the kinda knowledge they are impacting therein and the kinda knowledge they have impacted on you.


I am tired of B.sc/HND parity .... until you go to University yourself, you would not be able to ascertain the difference between these two levels of knowledge.

Well said. But i don't understand your point. Too many contradictions of ideas.

In my opinion, the discrimination is baseless and borne out of bias. It's always good to talk from experience. Bsc is not better than HND because i have been into both systems. I was studying computer engineering at Michael okpara university before i had issues in the school and left.I was opportune to finish 200level before leaving the school for federal polytechnic nekede. But during my two years in the university, i knew virtually nothing as a prospective engineer. It's theory all the way and alternative to practicals that they give us in the name of practicals. I thought i was doing well until i came to poly nekede and my eyes opened. Most of the courses we did in 200L were treated in my ND1. Right now i have enough practical experience and i am not gainsaying. I am in ND2 now and i am happier here in the polytechnic than in the university. For those talking about course content not being the same, it is only on paper that they are not the same. All the courses i did while in the university has been treated here. For those who know about Federal poly nekede, you know that it's very close to FUTO; FUTO students pay some poly nekede students to write exams for them. Inasmuch as I'm not scared of the effects of the discrimination, I think it should stop. It doesn't matter weather you have HND of BSC. What matters is what you have upstairs. I think it's high time we stopped attaching so much importance to certificate as against the holder.

Please can someone help me look up prophesize in the dictionary? I cant find it in mine.
