Darey4u2010: Abah! Gifted and talented children may be wasted if your sentiment is considered. Remember that someone had no shoe when he was in school but now he's a pre**d*nt

Take a deep breath Bro and re-read your comment.

Your types are the problem with Nigeria. You want everything handed over to you for free. You demand so much from the Govt while you don't want to give anything back. You said in your own words "it does not not neccesarily mean wat is good and working for them will work for us"

Are you saying that electricity is good and working for them doesn't mean it will be good for us?

Pipe borne water? Good road network? A working education system? Administrative policies? Please clarify why they wouldn't work for us.

So it is good to adopt the good foreign policies/standards that benefits you and throw away the ones that requires you to give back to the system. I don't think your kids will be happy with you when they read this comment in the future.

KenGali:
That is why you should be focused on asking the govt to support such people via student loans that will give them access to quality education and wean the schools off public funding , not excuse of an education that will leave them selling pepper on the road, even worse than their mothers.

@ Op , Whoever told you that 'education or tuition' fee in Germany is free (is) the biggest lier of our time. Not for its citizens nor for international students.
I've got both German and Nigerian citizenships respectively.... I know how things work in both countries as i come home at least four times in a year, every student here in Germany coughs out 3000€uros per annum. Post graduate student pay less, about 1800€uro depending on the course, school and duration.

[b]You want to fight for FREE TERTIARY EDUCATION? Are you serious or high on cheap drugs? Where does that happen? Believe me N100,000 per annum is so cheap, it's cheaper than Laboratory charges in international Universities.

You guys are quick to play the comparison card but you never verify your facts before betting on it. Government subsidize their local tuition fee yet it's 20 times more expensive than Nigeria Universities.

Local Students pay - N2,000,000+ per annum

International Students pay - N5,000,000+ per annum and this is not a luxurious university.

You should note that basic education is the right of every child but not tertiary education. Even the British themselves, only a few of them could afford a college degree. You have it better Bro, appreciate the Govt. effort to make education cheaper in Nigeria. People here become indebted after college, they spend the first 3 years of their working lives paying off college debts.

You don't know what you have until you've lost it.[/b]

Are you sure? I paid 55,000 FNS. Graduated Last Year.

rudedough:

[b]No you are very wrong my friend. There was never a time Finland had free tertiary education for all. They had Free University scholarship for their top high school graduates and free international scholarship for foreign top high school graduates, which my friend Olatunde was a beneficiary.

They still have those scholarships if you wish to apply but note that it has become more rigorous as you have to pass their entrance exam first before your application goes to the next level for screening.

We cannot afford that system now with the rate of corruption in our WAEC and NECO. Until we fix the decay in our education system from the grassroots and learn to support the Govt as patriotic Nigerians, our education system will continue to decline.

For Nigeria tertiary education to improve, the Universities must increase the tuition fee to a flexible standard that benefits both the students and the university. To run a University cost a lot of money, and the Govt cannot afford it, hence our Universities are in a state of ruin.

Govt must also take their hands off school business and allow it run on its own IGR.

The only part i'll hold the Govt. responsible is if they fail to provide access to educational loans for students who are entitled to it and wish to get a university degree. That is what you should be fighting for, access to educational loans and not free education. That doesn't happen anywhere in the world.

Nigerians must understand that you get what you pay for and education is not free anywhere in the world.[/b]

Chomzy19: How Exactly will it be Helpful? wen u get admission to a school u'll know your tuition

there is no particular fees for any federal or state university,

coogar:

a federal university? N150,000?
don't they have a student union body? that fee is highly ridiculous!

Ms_Steph: It is cheaper in northern universities. Like in nassarawa state uni I think it is less than 30k

Emzybrown: Imo state university, acceptance fee 80k, school fees 120k, government pay 100k, indigenes pay 20k, government pay 50k non inidegenes pay 70k

basilo101: All our universities shud be made autonomous. Let d FG run a student loan package. Let student work during holidays 2 pay dia loan, dis will help dem get job experience. Let researchers in d universities make inventions dat will attract funds frm companies dat want 2 cormercialise them. Too much lazy unproductive graduates evriwie, dats wat free or cheap education produces. Evribody must be a university graduate, we nid more technical colleges, monotechnics n polytechnics to train d middle class manpower which is engine dat drives development.

caseless: as for autonomy, we're not ripe for that yet cos average nigerian live below $1/day.

again, if u are talking of students working on holidays, then that's a wild goose chase. how many of the graduates have been able to get jobs , talk more of the undergraduate?
