Scrap ND and HND now
very useless thing

givedemwotowoto:
HND is basically a technical degree and should be equivalent to a BSc. Both degrees are accepted for Master's degree programs abroad with no discrimination, because the basis for qualification for Master's is on credit hours, courses and grades earned in school and not the name of the degree. This shouldn't be a problem in Nigeria. I don't know why they're still on this matter.

simpleseyi:
Sociology and Philosophy graduate, go and sit down somewhere. Write to ICAN and ask them for performance of HND versus BSc holders in the national exam, shame go catch you for BSc holders. Make we no mention Engineering and Tech.

The same way they began to present NEPA bill as school certificate.

1.
What inspired the bill? I mean, which crisis led to the proposal of the bill?

2.
Is it right for HND and BSc. to be treated equally when the processes of obtaining the both are not the same?

In my opinion, the bill is illogical.

I am not discriminating against anybody. I understand that a HND holder might be more intelligent and more skilled than a BSc. holder. But HND and BSc. cannot be the same as long as they are not obtained from the same institution. The point is that whoever wants BSc. should go to a university and whoever wants HND should go to a polytechnic. Why will someone who settled for police job fight to be seen and addressed as a soldier after joining the police?

If you could not go to a university because of some challenges that were beyond your control, it is understandable. But don't unleash your frustration on BSc. holders. If you manage to graduate from a university with BSc., do not mock or intimidate HND holders. But it is illogical to rate BSc. and HND equal.

Believe me HND is more strenuous than any equivalent degree in their scheme .

immortalcrown:
You should be ashamed of yourself for skipping where I say that a HND holder can be more intelligent and more skilled than a BSc. holder.

SeverusSnape:
See English, And you graduated from a university. Well done sir.

hotwax:
What is really wrong with our BSc holders on this forum behaving as if they cult group.

The country need to move forward. You are not any better than HND. Not even a slight difference.

Na we dey interview them na. HND have outperformed their Uni counterparts in tech space. So why the anger?

OlujobaSamuel:
How many countries have you seen offering HND, even the UK that brought it to you don abolish am.
Diploma will still remain, it is HND that will be removed.
The entry requirements for both students and staff will be adjusted to reflect that of BSc.
The major reason for the noise is the duration of the certificate and the use as cheap labour in the market.
Why should anyone use 5yrs for a coursework, then get a job with lower pay but employer choose to use such to carry out task of a degree holder??
Some organisations will recruit everyone together, having same job functions, but won't promote a class of certificate holders because of the title on their paper

Bluffly:
Confusion.
As long as they are not a research designated institution and cannot offer MSc and Phd. Because Bricklayer they do regular practical, e don better the building engineer ba?

frog12:
all the UK has done is change the name. hND is for those that can't enter 4 year curriculum. there's nothing wrong with it.
the lawmakers are just following sentiments. they should allow education ministry to establish the standards

Your miss informed they conduct efficient research beyond your comprehension.
They need have equal opportunities to thrive and better the nation invariably.

Atuero:
HND and Degree are no mates

Degree holder can lecture HND student but not the other way round

EmperorIsaac:
Exactly my point. If it scales through, the requirements for gaining admission into the University must be the same as that of Polytechnics.

RepoMan007:
The bill is a misplaced one. The world all over, polytechnics/tech schools, on one hand, and universities serve different purposes. If the syllabus for Polytechnics has derailed over time due to pay disparity and thus labour market bias, let the boards or commission in charge take the appropriate actions and correct that instead of trying to convert one into the order by decree. All major manufacturing economies of the world have a clear path for polytechnics and universities. Only fakes like ours think rank is everything and skill is nothing.
