What's this guy spewing now?! When we were buying textbooks at the rate of #2,000/2,500 in my school and poly students were buying handouts #300/400, you're here telling us that there's no difference!

Mcbussy:

I did practicals too dude...trust me,practicals are easier than cramming 450 page textbooks and journals.

RAO1: China is focusing on technical n technological skills..... ur so-called engineers( with unis degrees) are controlled / supervised by Chinese technical schools graduates.... I was @ shoprite, ring rd, Ibadan.... And numerous construction works like that.....

To show the superiority of Bsc over HND

Polytechnic lecturers: HND or Bsc?
Polytechnic lecturers: If he/she has HND certificate, he won't get promotion in the so called polytechnic
Polytechnic lecturers: Even HND certificate only does not worth to be used for lecturing in higher institution.
Polytechnic lecturers: They will still go to Uni to get their PGD, MSC or Phd

Polytechnic Administration:
Rector: Prof or Dr
HOD: Msc and co

Practicals:
No practical in polytechnic, even university do more practical than poly. Most students nowadays acquire their practicals during IT and co.

I passed through polytechnic and graduated with upper credit in EE but now in UI.
Lecturing, practicals, research if far better than polytechnic.

Even if you want to feel that you're in school, its only Uni that you can feel that

ADVICE to ND/HND:

If you don't like the way things is, I will implore you to get that Bsc and the inferiority complex will not be there again.

Question: If they ask you where you want to your child to school, you will say university.

Bravo!!!

Isaajibola's comment is the bull sh*t of the month!

Your comment is riddled with atrocious blunders. Your grammar is terrible, your argument is prejudicial and you don't know that the Nigerian education system is totally faulty and archaic.

Sit down there and plan to send your children to your "glorified" Nigerian university, while the sensible ones plan a proper UK/US education for their children.

Localamos: It's about time the unjust discrimination of polytechnic education is addressed.

If better part of ICAN professionals are polytechnic graduates - and arguably all other professional bodies, I wonder why the dichotomy should persist!

While the university is supposed to carry out research work and meet challenges of future, polytechnic education is supposed to train individuals for technical competency to meet the challenges of today.

Meanwhile, what we have today is that polytechnic students complete the same coursework -and even research(project work)- as their university counterparts! So I wonder the basis for this disparagement!

I think polytechnics should award Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) and place their products on the same pedestal as the university graduates.

eddieo:
HND Graduates in polytechnics are INSTRUCTORS not LECTURERS! They are forbidden to lecture until they have a minimum of BSc

eddieo:

If you say better part of ICAN professional are polytechnic graduates and arguably all other professional bodies, that's deceit. the truth is
;
LARGER NUMBER OF POLY GRADUATES ENROLL FOR PROFESSIONAL COURSES THAN THEIR UNIVERSITY COUNTERPARTS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO UPGRADE MAJORLY DUE TO INFERIORITY COMPLEX.
ARE THE BEST CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS FROM THE POLYTECHNICS?
ARE THE BEST ACCOUNTING FIRMS OWNED BY POLYTECHNIC GRADUATES? IF YES, THEN JUST NAME ONE ACCOUNTING FIRM IN THE COUNTRY OWNED BY POLYTECHNIC GRADUATES INCLUDING OTHER PROFESSIONAL BODIES.
It is correct when you say there is more pass rate of poly graduates in ICAN exams than university graduates because poly Graduates constitute a greater number of candidates that enrolled for such exams. You need to see how even PGD Exams are difficult for polytechnic graduates to pass in universities because the teachings and curriculum look new to them and no means of sorting lecturers available.

voltron: Why do Graduates of Universities complain more about not getting Jobs and HND graduates are getting employed. is it that the industry does not value Graduates as much as it does HND holders.. or is it that the Ministries are the standard to bench-mark Careers as Graduates and HND Holders..

mikedimeji:

Ur post lack statistical back up, how many organizations do u know that takes HND as against Bsc, u failed to understand that they are two different qualification as far as some organizations are concerned and they have different job specification. There are times there will be vacancy for HND and there won't be any for Bsc is that what u are referring to? My dear just leave matter for Mathias. There are some organizations that I know of, they invites only Bsc 2.1 and above from federal university only, so don't be deceive and there's only one reason for this arguiment and that is inferiority complex among the HND holders Becos as far as am concern there's nothing like discrimination. HND and Bsc are not the same, HND has it place in the society likewise Bsc but Becos the country is in a state everybody is just doing as they like. Why didn't NCE say they are equivalent with B.Ed

akpur1: google best tertiary institution in nigeria

Weselion: just keep on deluding yourself because a professor taught you, your professor knows everything ba, anu-mpoko like you

ITbomb: Forgive my ignorance but do we have Professors in Polytechnics?

Localamos:

Nigerian curriculum has not been developed since God-knows-when. See, let's get off our high horse and come to terms that our Nigerian education system is faulty. Curriculum in both types of institutions is the same -and archaic.

As touching the proliferation of I CAN by the poly grads as an expression of their inferiority complex, honestly I don't know about that. What I know is that they have used their professional QUALIFICATION to prove that they completed the syllabus that is required for that level qualifications.

kishimi8:

What I believe to be the reason why HND holders get jobs is their readiness to accept under employment work conditions and also tendency to accept little income while being overworked .. However for any firm to employ a degree holder they will have to deal with someone wko has a deep sense of self worth ingrained in him, and he would hardly accept being overworked and salaries below minimum stipulated wages for the profession

Sheenor: i read it too.........i hope they do something about it . HND cannot forever remain second to degree.....they have to be equal....yeah!.....they most be equal.

Badmushazan: polytechnic school of average nigerian that value education while university school of prominent nigerian that want to oppress the poor whom manage to have polytechnic education. However going to university does not determined your ability/ success.........no wonder a computer science graduate of ABU zaria asking me if bank security door allow customer holding a pen to enter or not ?..... Ewa wo Aiye university graduate ni ode

Yungmilio2:

....
