Senate Debates Bill To End Degree/hnd Dichotomy by honey001(m): 6:56am On Oct 23, 2014 |
The Senate on Tuesday passed through the Second reading a bill seeking to end the age-long dichotomy between University Degree holders and holders of Higher National Diploma (HND) from Polytechnics. The bill, sponsored by Senator Ayo Akinyelure, is seeking to end what it called ongoing controversy over wage disparity and gross discrimination against HND holders in the public and private sectors. The Senator, in his lead debate, said it amounted to injustice to continue the discrimination. “The aftermath of continuing injustices,disparity and discriminations meted on products of polytechnics in Nigeria is threatening to derail the nation’s core policy thrust of evolving a technological and scientifically based, self-reliant society in the nearest future. “As I speak, thousands of would-be polytechnic and technology students are contemplating or have decided to opt for university education because of perceived and real discrimination against HND graduates. “If this contemplation occurs, there is bound to be a vacuum created in our labour market in this regard, and dire consequences are bound to follow this trend.” Senate President David Mark, who rounded off the debate, however, noted that no degree holder had ever gone to the Polytechnic while the reverse had always been the case. He subsequently referred the bill to the Committee on Education for consideration and a report to the plenary in four weeks. www.tribune.com.ng/news/news-headlines/item/19421-senate-debates-bill-to-end-degree-hnd-dichotomy |
