Topic: Nigerian System of Education (Read 417 times)
Normally Nigeria as a nation supposed to dey update the educational curriculum in a specific year time. Because e get plenty things wey Dem dey teach wey no dey relevant at all for the learning process and even life activity. At least even if we get better learning material and equipment to aid proper understanding of the students. Most of our students now adays them go finish school yet nothing to offer because them no get good learning materials. And the rate at which some lecturer take dey use our students take dey cash out, e get as e be, now adays due to o er population sef some student dey stand to learn which is even not psychological ok for the assimilation of lecture.
Talking about the over-population, the school authorities are no longer interested in the conduciveness of a class room, or has a limited set of person that is meant to be admitted in a department to ensure conducive learning, they admit to the extent that students now sit on the floor or outside the class room to take lectures due to lack of space.
Over populated classrooms have really affected the Nigerian educational system. This particular scenario happened to me in my university days. Ever since my year 1 my classroom have always been populated, so since I don’t stay in hostel the I do come a bit late by then my class will be filled already and most of us will be hanging outside and not really paying attention to the lecture going on, I went through this for four years. So during my final year I was attached to this particular lecturer as my project supervisor and the first day I went to him to introduced myself to him he asked me this question “ Are you a final year student because I don’t know you” and he was actually right he didn’t know me not because I don’t come for lectures but because he actually don’t see me in his lectures. I was always hanging outside due to lack of big classrooms. So Nigeria universities need to start building big classrooms and halls or better still issue out a low number of admissions to student that will fit in with the classroom capacity.Lack of Qualified Faculty and Equipment for studies
Nigerian system of learning lack major equipment for learning, after being in the school environment for as much as your programme requires, then coming out to the public and you have nothing to offer due lack of necessary equipment for studies and conditions the students are being placed under.
Omo, bro this one too no be lie. Nigerian universities they lack facilities, Guy even to go excursion wuna bus go spoil Taya for road, wuna fit use 3 days do one day journey. Even people wey de expect wuna for the excursion fit come later no get wuna time wen wuna reach because no be when dem de expect wuna be that. Then make we come talk about lack of practical facilities. Like Omo naija still de back when it comes to facilities especially the public schools or universities. Nigerian system of learning lack major equipment for learning, after being in the school environment for as much as your programme requires, then coming out to the public and you have nothing to offer due lack of necessary equipment for studies and conditions the students are being placed under.
The Nigerian Educational System is one sector that have been in constant decline over the years and the government of the nation are one of the primary reasons for it to be so, because they failed to improve the learning standards in our University and college of education and rather prefer to send their children away for their students. But in the face of all this negativity surrounding the country's educational sector some graduates of these institutions have gone out to prove to be good and competent in their choose career paths.
While the issue of sorting in our territary institution is one that can be stopped is the government provides proper funding of the institutions, the lectures are well paid and adequate policies are put in place to check the activities of both the lectures and students

In nigeria, people go to the university to get degree not necessarily the knowledge and this is because of our system, you don't expect an individual to put much effort in something that may not benefit home after all the struggling, in other country their are firms you start with as a young graduate but in nigeria what we have here is excuses from the government, the government is responsible for bad educational system in nigeria, people should prepared from nursery education to prepare them for higher education, practical aspect of education should be given a high level of priority, for me I already know that our government knows what to do but fail to do it because of their selfish reasons.
There should be preparation for the young minds, more importantly the ones in colleges, they should take their education more seriously inother to graduate with flying colors but I guess things don't always worked out as planned. The government have succeeded in ruining the system and intercepted the smooth running of the education system. Nigerians have seen facts about the country, it's not all about been educated but having a strong connection that will be helpful for us when we finish college.
Nigeria system of education structure have been replaced from 6-3-3-4 with 9-3-4 commonly referred to as the universal basic education (UBE).
The standard of education is reducing by the day in Nigeria according to statistics as a result of lack of dependable infrastructural facilities, inadequate, budgetary allocation, high cost of education, poor planning, none utilization of educational research conducted.
We can improve education by adequate funding with good management will provide high quality education in Nigeria

Our Nigeria education is nothing to write home about, looking from the primary to secondary sector first is a mess the government has fail to provide adequate facility for learning.even providing chairs and table is very poor,you see student sitting on the floor to learn.you can not have a good government school to put your child cause is waist of time.we thank God for private individuals that have private school to make education better.na the poor dey suffer cause they don't have money to pay for those private school.but if the government makes the government school better for learning it will help the system.
Seriously I concur with you write up about Nigeria we have nothing to write home about them.omo when you go to the government primary school and see the poor facilities and mismanagement and I don’t care attitude about the government towards them,then you will know why the tertiary education are suffering from,if the basic is not nothing to write home about what do you expect from the other ahead. Nigeria have to sit up and take Nigeria education seriously and I don’t see why Nigeria education can not be free to it citizen, which I know it’s very possible to happen. But the senators all the care about is there allowance and allocation and private car to given.the senator have a good rule to play to help build this education system and not to be in this shame. That’s why someone can just wake up one morning and say school is scam because of this kind of nonsense and recklessness of the government.

This is so true and only students that studies medicine or medical related courses are been considered to have a more conducive environment for learning that any other profession and this is because of the intensity of the study and what they tend to do after school which deals with human’s life that cannot be taking for granted.

You are talking about the practical side of schooling which is not a priority anymore to the system of government but rather have made the theoretical aspect of it more appealing that the other. The truth is that, practical applications should be more focused on than just theory because after school, the theory would have been instilled in the brain but the practical aspect cannot be applied.
FOTRAN...This person na UNIPORT student 
. I get your point but it is what it is. but i don't think it should be a problem for you now... The internet is always there for you to update and make yourself better. Am tired of complaining this days so i try to put in work.
Hehehehe...I don laugh tire no be small. . I get your point but it is what it is. but i don't think it should be a problem for you now... The internet is always there for you to update and make yourself better. Am tired of complaining this days so i try to put in work.Well, UNIPORT or not, the condition of our educational system, from the basic to the tertiary level is quite appalling and it takes only those who went to privately owned and managed schools, to get the best jobs and appointments in this country.
Fees are on the verge of getting hiked again, as we see already in Lagos where students took to the streets to riot based on the tuition fees increment.
I wish better policies like the student loan initiative and something like a study and work program should be created for students, so they can fend for themselves and afford the fees required.
We can't as well overlook the incompetency of teachers and lecturers. This is very common among primary and secondary level. This is due to the corrupt practice involved during employment. Competent teachers and lecturers are ignored for incompetent ones just because they know one polical personal within the country. All this is really affecting our educational system. Imagine a graduate of electrical engineering that doesn't know how to do a house wiring. Our educational system should also learn to do more of practicals than theory, this will help graduate perform well in their field.
Di state of education for Nigeria dey cause wahala, wit inadequate funding, poor infrastructure, low teacher quality, and an outdated curriculum na some of di main challenges wey dey face di sector. But, opportunities dey for improvement like increased government funding, embracing technology, quality teacher training, and curriculum reform. If dem fit tackle dis challenges and use dis opportunities well, Nigeria fit upgrade im education system and give im citizens di skills and knowledge wey dem need for di growth and development of di country.
Let the truth be say,the system of education in Nigeria is very poor ,but many Nigeria school we have students who are very intelligent,but where the government and the Minister of labour failed is monitory the school,some many teachers don't know what to teach they get their work by bribe ,now let me explain how the government fails in so many local government in Nigeria,no good quality houses for students to stay and learn ,some classes rain will chase you away ,let their also be a monitoring team that will be checking the teacher time to time ,only in Nigeria that if at all the supervisor is coming he will be ringing bell for his coming so he will take bribe, bribery and corruption is one of the things that is hendering the growth of our education system today.
But to be frank our government are not trying in time of the standard of our education
Many students just go to school to fight ,where are the teachers where is the principal that should be guilding this students,with this you will know our government really failed in time of education in Nigeria

Formally, education in Nigeria was based on a 6-3-3-4 system, which involves three levels of institutional learning processes: at the primary school level, at the secondary school level and at the tertiary level.
Toady twenty five years after a new system of education called the universal basic education (UBE) otherwise know as the 9-3-4 has been re-introduced whose curriculum is expected to meet the millennium development goals (MDGs).
The educational system in Nigeria are divided into two.
The public, where the students only pays for parents teachers association (PTA).
The private. Where the students pay school fees and some other fees like sports, exam fees, computer fees etc. and they are costly.

Our system of Education is something else, starting from the primary system to the tertiary system. That of the the tertiary system their varieties of challenges it undergoes, for instance
* Over Population
* Outdated Curricula
* Lack of qualified faculty and equipment for studies
* Lectures Accepting Bribe (Sorting)

Outdated Curricula. On this particular note, Nigerian universities are still making use of outdated curriculum to lecture their students, how do these universities curriculum prepare her students for the modern work force. Using my school as a case study, just imagine learning FORTRAN in this modern time, when other countries are leaning advance computer programming options

Nigerian system of learning lack major equipment for learning, after being in the school environment for as much as your programme requires, then coming out to the public and you have nothing to offer due lack of necessary equipment for studies and conditions the students are being placed under.
Sorting in Nigerian Universities are now seen as a normalcy,
Lecturers in these universities are now adding to back logging of the educational system. Just imagine a student going for a job interview and is being asked questions related to his or her field of study and they can't come out with something tangible due to the corrupt process they've passed through.
Omo when it comes to Nigeria the government at-all are not helping matters towards enhancement or development of the educational system for example take look as the asuu in the universities which always go on strike of bad funding and mismanagement of fund which allow student who’s supposed to be a graduate in 4 years becoming a graduate in 7 years due to strike in the university because of poor and bad system,which we need a check and balance in the system. * Over Population

Nigeria system of education is a crucial matter that needs to be tackled from the primary to tertiary level.Education is light, knowledge is power.Personally let's trace down to the primary level of education,if the foundation of the primary level is weak it affects the students.You mentioned some challenges affecting the tertiary level of education and I just have one to add up;
Scholars are denied access from studying what they applied for in the university even when the person merits it.A student that might have attained a high score in jamb and post utme and even beat the cutoff mark for the course that was applied and might not gain admission into the university all because man know man system has crept into the Nigeria system of education,so that's also one challenge we facing in Nigeria system of education.

Education this days doesn’t mean you are qualified for it, it means knowing the person that knows person (connection) our government have failed us since many years ago, talking about the over population in the schools, this days schools did not have a limited number of students that are going to be taking again, what they are doing this days is to just make sure they didn’t allow your money to go free, let me use my own school as example, presently we are like 300 members in a class and everyone is offering admission, although we all have a space to sit down in the class but the population is too much, to study well has now become a problem and at the end of it people have that will graduate will be surprised to you because those who you think they will graduate are not the ones you see because of corruption.
Lack of equipment is the problem in every university now, did you know that this days the practical materials are not available like before, even if they are available they are not good like the way they are, this days in university before any practical should be taking make sure that you must pay for the materials that you will buy, then I am still surprise about it why is that government university don’t have materials needed, and i shake my head and say this is Nigeria.

The Nigeria system hasn’t really done enough for the educational system..starting from the structure and curriculum and payment scheme.its not encouraging enough.getting paid small salaries leads to a lot of problems in the education system such as bribery and corruption.when the government have create a system good and when there’s check and balance in the system we will enjoy a lot in it * Over Population

Omo FORTRAN no be lie , Na UNIPORT student em be, They go just crowd una for MBS 1, then begin they teach e no concern them if you grab or not, coming to the practical aspect not enough computer for the students, una go go in batches, before your turn go reach maybe you done tire or them go begin the rush the class, Nigerian government schools no dey try sha, that's why most lecturers even administrators for our universities sends their children to private schools or even abroad, and it's high time the government address this , so an average Nigerian can have a good , quality and sound education. .

Our education system what pain most us the issue if studying courses that has nothing to add in our environment mostly once it come deals with adated course.
I realized that many of our teachers lack research on the trending global development due to inefficient technology and the funding placed in our education though some too don't have the zeal to research not necessarily on the fact that they lack required tools.
The unproductive nature if our system mostly the education sector us the course of study that has nothing to add as value to those that received it , that's why many are out of school with nothing to add in the society or environment. Our education system is not worth encouraging and is delapidating on daily basis .
We need savage this by avoid studying anything that has no impact on our environment avoid borrow course or studying other people culture that take away our core values and which devaluate of own way of productive.
