Nairaland must not go down this easily without a fight!!! VICTORIA ASCERTA

rumor update: prof omole has been sacked!!!

guys I heard that there an interview between the school p.r.o and the SU today 10am on channels TV . but don't know how true that is.

yesterday, the portal was opened to final year students' application for bed space and it is set to be opened today for returning students who are SPORTSMEN/WOMEN. is this a sign that the school will be reopened next week or possibly on Monday. I pray sooooooooo. WELCOME BACK GUYS.

actually i meant, is there any hope for anyone that took this year's pre degree and is yet to find his name on the list. I do appreciate the reply

Guys, if one is yet to be admitted and took the pre degree exam, is there any hope or is it too late?

Teezman: Guys, is the second admission list out? Pls its urgent

pls answer this

Guys, is the second admission list out? Pls its urgent

can anyone help with the course outline for 100 level education and economics

Does anyone has any idea of the courses education and economics students will be offering in 100level or that of the pure economics students

is there is anyone that can assist me with the course outline for econs edu or econs major. Will really appreciate it

mooretes: just thinking in response to ade, why would someone not qualified as a teacher teach? what gives an engineer the right to teach? do u not think teaching itself deserves someone with the qualification? if u argue that as a BSc ed you are only qualified to teach but not qualified to practice engineering, why then would someone with BEng or BSc eng qualify to teach and also practice engineering? What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

Besides, I believe it should be BEng anyway and not BSc eng. In anycase, dont know how this is offered in Nga. I did give example of this in schs from outside Nga.

I dont really know what it entails in engineering but like my own example (of which i finished from Unilorin) I am an economists and an economics teacher.

Going back to why wld someone not qualified as a teacher teach, we believe that since we read say Biology, Chemistry, English etc, we are qualified to teach this courses in schs, however it is not so, we need to understand what it entails to teach. In fact in the UK, you need to go for a PGCE (postgraduate certificate in education, http://www.tda.gov.uk/get-into-teaching/teacher-training-options/pgce.aspx) if anyone who studied a solid course wants to teach. This is because in education, we get to do teaching practice and other stuff related to how to manage students, teach and pass on the knowledge so you see, not everyone can teach.

Even if you have a PhD, you still need to study how to teach before you can properly teach in Unis. This is what the government and Universities expect.
Meanwhile, dont we think we just tend to name everything? Someone said, we dont v engineers in the country, he might be right. Do you know that road side car engineers (some actually do v a qualification) also wants to be referred to as an engineer. Do you know that in England, they hardly have Engr in front of their names? Weird isnt it but in Nga, we tend to have the Engr. pride I guess, but who says it isnt something to be proud of?

As long as you do the work and really know your stuff, then please go ahead and call yourself whatever but if you are put on the spot and cant seem to ans anything really, you'll need to go back to the drawing board.

O! one more thing, most of our children are not really doing well in exams, y, maybe we can argue that 1) they are not being tot well cos we do not have a qualified teacher 2) maybe we can argue that there are too many things which have 'blocked their brains' social network, too much playing, parents not checking their childs' books to know if the child is playing or learning and 3) maybe it is a general fall in education standards but seriously whatever the case maybe, if you dont have someone who can pass on knowledge the right way and you have children who are too involved in FB, games and friends to care about what they would be facing in future. So trying to up the education standard is a challenge that everyone needs to rise up and face not just complain about how poor the standard is n not doin anything about it. I've got ideas but I was told the person who I was going to present it to was wanting to make it his own, so its still with me.

God help us, and we also need to start helping ourselves.

BTW, at the end of the day all these qualifications are all names, isnt it?

Pls sir can i meet you on facebook

Jodekss: okay thanks for the call, I appreciate it. I wasn't told when the eportal is gonna be upgraded may be cos I didn't ask. Things were so swift there, cos their oga patapata dey office, why? May be cos I went too early, they are all just come in, I alighted on the campus before 800 am clocked; it took His intervention afore I could have mine confirmed gan self but, the truth is, I was told that they are compiling the second batch and would be launched sooner... Eportal has to be upgraded too and it'd be this year, within these 'ember months... Shey u get?

Just so you know,the latest university ranking has placed the great ife as the best in nigeria(no 1) and 8th in Africa.

Teaser4: nope bro

does that mean that one has no chance of being admitted for the second choice course once he beats the cut off mark for the first? have you experienced this before or at least know someone who have?

Gcool2: Help o!i tot i reg 4 b.sc econz in jamb,bt wen d result was released,wat i saw waz b.ed econz,i tot twaz a mistake 4rm jamb nw googled it n gt 2 know dat itz bachelor of education Economics.waz it a mistake or wat i registered?jez confused.if it were 2 b b.ed econz,wat waz last yr's kut off.v 243.5 as agg.

the person did not make the mistake, the same think happened with mine but of you check the faculty you will find faculty of social science on your slip that's to show that its not for education, in my own case, I chose oau as first and second choice with economics and education and economics but was surprised to find b.ed for both. but the first was for faculty of social science and the other for education

walexgold: forumite...'cut off' is out...4 d faculty of education

cut off mark out? you better be sure about this

Teaser4: not sure of that...I will make an inquiry for you wen we resume...

is it possible to be offered admission into oau for two different courses if ine chooses it as first and second choice for two different courses

petreli08: Not possible

even if you beat the cut off mark for both courses absolutely.

its like everyone in here has also gone on strike but hope this won't also be indefinite. anyways, is there any good samarithan that can help with this?: is it possible for one to be offered admission into oau for two different courses perhaps one chooses oau as first and second choice for two different courses? answers from reliable source, pls.

Hausa: @ u sir, u dont nid to knw me b4 u give me ur best shot. So pls dont be a wave making sort, ok?
i gave u d best answer u'll nid (plus y wud i wanna waste my time talking, if u dint ask a question).
I dint come here to tell u bout ur future.
So...

but I think it would have been better if you had answered the question in just simple terms like this, this and that would be required. but if you are reluctant to provide the answer, who am I to question you.
