Varsity Admission Crisis A Time Bomb – Iornem by Donmams(m): 11:46am On Aug 17, 2013 |
A professor of management, David Iornem, yesterday described the nation’s university admission crisis as “atime bomb” and a disaster worse than the Boko Haram killings. He told journalists in Kaduna that there was urgent need for the Federal Ministryof Education and the National UniversityCommission (NUC) to come up with practical solutions to the problem by considering university colleges in the country. According to him, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is not designed to set qualification criteria for university admission, but to edge out candidates due to lack of capacity of Nigerian universities to accommodate the youth aspiring for tertiary education. He said: “Out of 1.7 million students that want to enter university, only 500,000 found places, 1.2 million young Nigeriansare out. What is their fate and future? This is a bigger crisis than Boko Haram crisis. To take 1.2 million young Nigerians who want to continue with their education and put them by the corner because society cannot cater for them.” |
