School na the biggest scam in Nigeria
How and why??

U people do mix things together.

Education and money making is different.

Education has nothing to do with money making.

And school is never a scam

Parasitology and Entomology is a fraction of Zoology. It will be interesting to see it stand alone.

That Islamic Finance is absolutely required. I was hoping that Capital Market Studies, Undersea Engineering and Mine Engineering Technology will make the list.

Telecommunications Studies is bland like Petroleum Engineering. What's Telecommunications outside Physics, Material science and Electrical Electronics Engineering.
Courses like; Engineering Management (Blending of engineering and business), Construction Management, Innovation and Management are also cool interdisciplinary courses.

I think it's better we stop confusing ourselves in this country. If we want to speak English, we select either the American English or British English.

In the United States, they call it program (for department) and course (for subject). They also call theirs graduate studies.

In the UK, they call it course (for department) and modules (for subjects). They also call theirs postgraduate studies.

In Nigeria, we keep switching between the two, confusing ourselves. You see people call department and subjects courses undecided
Program or discipline.

Nigerians are good at inventing rubbish

First, what is the meaning of "Medical Laboratory Scientist?"
Even the name is absurd.

But because one minister's pikin studied it, they made it a professional course. The very course that is only a branch of the well-known course called "Microbiology." But they even went ahead to push it for a "Doctor of Medical Laboratory Science." In some climes, even dentists and radiologists are not referred to as doctors but directly as their profession, even though their training is the same and even more than medical doctors. Very soon, they will push for technologists to be called engineers and engineers to be called technologists. That is what happens when illiterates take over power.
My God! Being overconfident in illiteracy and f00lery is a disease ravaging the minds of the average Nigerian youths. They open their mouths carelessly and propagate nonsensical views..

Let me enlighten people before you mislead them with your ignorance. MLS is abroad field that encompasses Chemical Pathology, Haematology, Medical Microbiology, Parasitology, Molecular Diagnostics, Histopathology, Serology, Blood Banking, Immunology.
Infact, it is a Faculty on its own with all the above being the various departments.

So pray tell, how can all these department be a under microbiology? How can Chemical pathology which is more related Biochemistry be a department under Microbiology?

Google 'Faculty of Medical Laboratory Science' and 'Doctor of Medical Laboratory Science'. You will see how it is done in other advanced countries.

We know those of you who are disgruntled because you studied some basic science courses and now want to work in the Medical Laboratory and make the Laboratory a laughing stock when you release atrocious results that threaten the lives of patients.

It will not work.

The artificial intelligence there is just to feel among.
The course contents wouldn't pass
1. How to use ChatGPT
2. Difference between ChatGPT and OpenAI
3. History of AI (Here, they would quote how AI started from ancient Greek)
4. How to effectively use the correct prompt while using ChatGPT
5. Introduction to MetaAI
I don't know what's happen to black man. Where did we put hardware, electronics and robotics. I don't feel comfortable when ever I hear software(generative AI) been referred to as AI. See what secondary sch kids in China are creating. Africans have a long way to go, as usual we'll be on the wrong side of the boom

I googled it, and only Nigerian universities popped out. Maybe you should have tried it first before telling me to come out. Google AI defines it as a course under clinical science.

Your ignorance has refused you to know is that somethings were never meant to stand alone in some systems. Veterinary medicine was never meant to be a "doctor" but a skilled profession. Nursing was never meant to be a university program but a skill-based care course. A Quantity Surveyor was never meant to be a certified profession but a skilled based one. Now, talk more of common medical laboratory science.

Instead of learning, you dudes are quick to talk.

It is islamc studies.

U are unintelligent. Medical laboratory science is a global course and it is not a Nigeria course. They are rooted in the act of clinical diagnosis of diseases and ailments. They are also rooted in molecular diagnosis of diseases and infectious diseases. All thanks to this fantastic group of people. 85% of empirical data in the hospital is being generated by the Medical laboratory scientists. They have come to stay, they are bomb and highly sought after.
In the university ranked by the QS ranking as one of the first 10 universities, please refer me to links of the "Department of Medical Laboratory Science."
I want to become as intelligent as you are (God forbid, sha).

Bro, you got it wrong. How can you say Medical Laboratory Science is a branch of Microbiology? FYI, MLS basically encompasses medical microbiology, hematology, histopathology, chemical pathology. It's a broad course that produces manpower for different areas of Biomedical Science/ Laboratory medicine.
Go and ask NUC why they're now considering physiotherapy, pharmacy and now medical laboratory science for doctorate classification
I am not asking anyone. I can't waste my time asking those who are swayed by popular opinions and politics on why they do what they did.

It is the same NUC that is creating fringe departments like Automobile Engineering out of the Department of Engineering, when in practice, these are not supposed to be off the mother. Same with "AI", or "Data Science" out of the department of computer science.

You did not do your research very well. The course is offered in the USA, Iran, Russia, Lahore, and even in Ghana.

Stop misleading people with ignorance..See the screenshots below.

Go and learn basic browsing skills, before ventilating your thoughts on issues that are far above your brain grade.

1. People move around so with this, they can study anywhere in the country.

2. People can decide to study a course regardless of one's religious affiliation or ethnic background.

All those schools you mentioned are probably schools that are ranked almost in the same cadre as Nigerian schools.
Imagine bringing up Tehran University to quote or University of Kansas to quote as a standard.

None of what you brought up are noteworthy standards, yet you felt like dancing naked*.

University of Texas is no longer standard, because you said so?

You think we are talking about that fake Benin republic SLT degree you are brandishing from a 'university' that looks like Business center photocopy shop in Cotonou. grin

Why not Google their ranking and compare it to your Benin republic University? grin

Keeping quiet can be a virtue. With the way you talk it's obvious you can't pass any medical course. DCLS or DMLS is a career course overseas

Everything studied in school can be studied on YouTube , if you are discipline, you can challenge all the lecturers in your faculty to open debate and beat them flawlessly, some of them are still using their 1975 lecture notes

I ones challenged my lecturer to open debate but he ran with his two heels touching the back of his head

The HOD asked them to retain me as assistant lecturer but I rejected the offer, I prefer to be DVC academic so I can reorientate all the lecturers
so u want them to make you DVC? grin u neva jam lecturers wey sabi..... U go run walai

Cmanforall:
The 12 new programmes to be introduced are:
Some of the courses are supposed to be incorporated into existing courses.
For example

Artificial Intelligence ; should be part of Computer Science curriculum

Classical Christian Education ; Part of Religious Studies

Community Health Science ; Part of Public health

Cooperative Economics and Management Studies; Part of Economics or Business Management

Doctor of Medical Laboratory Science; Is this supposed to be a postgraduate course? Will there still be BSC Med. Lab? This one is not clear


Geomatics Engineering Intelligence and Security Studies; This can stay

Parasitology and Entomology; Part of Microbiology

Sports Management; This can stay

Telecommunication Science; Should be part of IT, if the course exists in Nigeria

Water Sanitation and Hygiene , part of Public health

Islamic Economics and Finance



In summary, about 3 of the 12 courses ought to be established
public health is broad, community health for example have been studied in sch of health goy yrs, so there's need for upgrade... Na water sanitation ino understand, we already have environmental health science in Universities and WASH is a key part of their course outline

When you are done, give me a list of schools that have such a department.

I know that I can't even pass JAMB to get to medical school, but can we leave Iranian schools and Nigerian schools out of this? Which country does that sheeeeet?
