Quality Education In Nigeria Is Declining

Over the years, candidly, the educational system in Nigeria has relegated to an abysmal state, where rejuvenation to life seems like a hard nut to crack. The system has witnessed several blows which has left its beneficiaries handicapped.

References to the ongoing ASUU strike, and the forthcoming ASUP strike, analyses have shown that gross percentage of the tertiary institutions won’t anchor learning activities, which literally will thrust the country into dark age – time when the country was evolving through colonization, since only the basic form of education will be ongoing.

Many will argue that’s untrue, that some tertiary institutions are still running programmes, but of what impact will those institutions make when the larger percentage is on strike?

A little digression from the above interlude, as time metamorphosed, one of the blows the system suffers from is hikes in fees in the tertiary institutions across the country, where each institution stated fallible reasons for the increments.

In lieu of that, here at the citadel of technological innovation, the sudden perceivedness in the increments of the tuition fee of the institution has left many students incapacitated, and devastated, it has forced many throbbing questions up our cords to our mouths, and has left many obscure thoughts lurking in our feeble minds, of which one will wonder if actually we enjoy the content of the plaque attached to this institution as being a “State-government owned” institution. I guess we don’t enjoy it, not an iota of it since we pay exorbitantly to receive the aforementioned “quality” education. [adinserter name=”Block 3″][adinserter name=”Block 2″]

In conclusion, not being economical with the truth, quality education in Nigeria is declining, and it is an onus on us all to speak up to the injustice. The world within the four walls of tertiary institutions rapes our body with injustice like hike in fees, maladministration, among others, likewise, the world outside (after graduation from tertiary institution) isn’t an haven to reckon with, with the inadequate jobs hovering above, and the struggles to make ends and scarce means.

These occurrences have snatched the incentives to study hard from students, and in this vein, I will leave this question hanging in the air, “Why should I pay exorbitantly for an education that its certainty to give me an average life after school is a paradox?”

Education, they’ve made us to believe, that in The Polytechnic, Ibadan, it isn’t free any longer, but at least, we shouldn’t be getting it at a price that would leave a V-shape marking around our neck.
