Unserious government!

The thing tire me. I thought nairaland just repeated a news.

How many times would they abolish this?

Venerable612:


It’s relative. Some, and I would say quite a lot, of graduates from Nigerian Universities too cannot even write application letters. Punctuations are so bad - and they are even bereft of Skills needed by employers these days.

Truth is, many Nigerian graduates are unemployable: largely due to the obsolete system of education though - Polytechnic or University alike.

But the discrimination is not in Knowledge - it’s in the ranks and remuneration structure. It’s a subtle way of influencing prospective students to apply to Polytechnics as well - which would at least reduce the huge population seeking a University degree.

If you ask me - it’s a good thing. But overhaul all the curriculums for courses in the UNI and Polys already- it’s not 21st century like!

That is the point.

They are not equal you modafuvkas?

MrMash:
But in all sincerity both are not same.

pls help differentiate. I want to learn.

xamuel17:
very good.... this was actually the reason why i had to transfer to a University after my ond at a polytechnic

See B.sc holder with ogbonge English

A university degree is not a paper! taken nothing away from the polytechnic graduates, with all their skills they still need someone who understands the theories that drive the practice and that is why, university graduates should always have an edge. Without theories there's no productivity.
Have you taken a careful examination of polytechnic graduate writing skills?

Please educate me about polytechnic graduate writing skills. I am waiting.

Congratulations to all stake holders, but it's more of a mindset. For me we are all graduations, bsc,msc, college of education. All are called "higher institutions "

We are all graduations im deed

Oga, go and check with ICAN and ACCA for their prize winnerso in Nigeria. That should just be okay to clear your doubts.
University degrees in Nigeria are just nothing but name.. Anyone can just obtain them if serious. Again try and visit MBA classes and find out top performers. Most are polytechnic graduates. Same applies on the job.
I for one select the best candidate in an interview, whether BSC or HND. It is the skills that I am after.

who handwriting help? polytechnic graduates are more skilled and it matters a lot

tactius:



That's true


But due to the fact that we do not have a thriving industrial sector.....

It’s more due to the fact that some of our politicians no even get NEPA bill sef, as certificate . Crooks.

in some countries, technical graduates are not looked down on.

The only reason I support this is because of the polytechnics that are way better than some universities eg Yabatech Vs ABU.

Bro you are getting it all wrong. In the polytechnic system, there is theory as well as practical. After passing through both system ( HND and B.Eng both in Mechanical Engineering), I can boldly tell you that what matters is what you can offer.
Las las my B.Eng was to fulfil all righteousness

Theories are the body of knowledge that drives a Profession. I dont mean theory its literal meaning

Do you know the meaning of writing skills at all? I meant ability to prepare official reports

Do you have official records of your affirmations?

The are not the same in so many ways, You think it is easy getting admission into the university? Polytechnic no stress for admission and you will be relaxing by going for I.T ND 1 / ND 2 .. they are enjoying

Yes, the "SKILL" and that is what Polytechnic is all about, while Graduates are managers of skilled workforce. Don't mix it up. They are not equal, never been equal and will never be. Forget the propaganda. Go and get a degree and stop fruitless internet campaign.

I love this debateful thread. Been a while we've seen such on Nairaland frontpage.
@Seun
Do something!

good development

So in your own wisdom, Yabatech is better than ABU? What manner of disrespect is this?!

MrMash:

Do you know many of the HND I have met actually have more stiff up there than bs.c?so how can you state such?
Iam glad it has been abolished
