Some people can't afford to school outside Nigeria, so they are stuck here! If I had my way, I would have studied in the UK, but my parents could not afford it and I did not get any scholarship... |

NaijaTalkTown:I do well on my own prerogative learning graphic utility softwares such as CorelDraw to the extent that I designed the first certificate in use at Police Training School, Oyin-Akoko in Ondo State, but when I tried learning C++, Objective-C and the likes, I regretted doing so.

Bola4boy:If you've not used calculus to solve any problem, the problem is with you not the educational system. As an engineering student/graduate, if you don't know the importance of calculus then you should burn your certificate. Below is an excerpt from a site about calculus. After reading, take a deep breathe and see if calculus is really important. Calculus is the language of engineers, scientists, and economists. The work of these professionals has a huge impact on our daily life - from your microwaves, cell phones, TV, and car to medicine, economy, and national defense. Credit card companies use calculus to set the minimum payments due on credit card statements at the exact time the statement is processed by considering multiple variables such as changing interest rates and a fluctuating available balance. Biologists use differential calculus to determine the exact rate of growth in a bacterial culture when different variables such as temperature and food source are changed. This research can help increase the rate of growth of necessary bacteria, or decrease the rate of growth for harmful and potentially threatening bacteria. An electrical engineer uses integration to determine the exact length of power cable needed to connect two substations that are miles apart. Because the cable is hung from poles, it is constantly curving. Calculus allows a precise figure to be determined. 1 Like |

Mr OP, I beg to disagree, 4 years is not too much and it isn't a waste of time. The Nigerian standard may be poor, but it has nothing to do with the curriculum. In science and engineering, the foundation has not really changed much in the last 70+ years. The laws of physics, Chemistry, and maths have changed so what are you changing the curriculum to? 2) You complained about irrelevant courses but I tell you, there's no profession in isolation. Because you never have to use some courses didn't mean it isn't necessary. Also there's the small matter that at undergraduate level, most people don't know what they're going to do with their lives, that's why the undergraduate degree is more breath oriented. I was once like you wondering why I had to go to school when I should have just going straight to NIIT but now, I wish I had studied computer science. PS: if there's any computer science undergraduate reading this, take your courses seriously ( algorithms and data structure, compiler construction, operating systems, discrete maths). They may look boring and uninspiring now but if you ever get into practising, you'd be glad. |

Let me start with a practical example; if you have an O level certificate from Nigeria and move over to the US to study for a bachelor degree in Nursing, below is the minimum number of years it would take. I also make an illustration with someone who finishes high school (secondary school) in the US. First, for someone with o level SSC; 1st year first semester........... Biology 1 with other 2 courses 1st year second semester..........Biology 2 with other 2 courses (Biology is prerequisite for biology 2) 2nd year first semester........Anatomy & phys 1 (bio 2 is prerequisite) 2nd year first semester.........Anatomy & phys 2 (Anatomy 1 is prerequisite) TWO YEARS GONE ALREADY. THEN YOU ARE ACCEPTED INTO THE NURSING PROPER FOR ANOTHER 3 - 4 YEARS Case #2 This second case is for someone who finished high school in the US; This is how it works, while in high school he gradually starts taking Advanced level courses- Biology 1 & 2 and also Anatomy & phys 1 and 2 that way, he/she won't waste additional two years after high school (secondary sch) taking these courses. Only highly motivated individuals are able to take this route. The rest would just have to wait till after high school (secondary sch ) to take those required prerequisite courses, and that would mean another two years after high school (secondary school). Thereafter, they could be accepted into a bachelors of nursing program to complete another 3-4 years, now add that to the previous two years and you have roughly 5years of post secondary education. Now, when I hear people saying it take less than the usual 4 -5 years of post secondary school education to get a bachelors degree I wonder where they got that information from. 1 Like |

As per reform, I'd like a situation where our secondary school system is upgraded to issue A level certificates, instead of the current O level, thereby leaving the time spent in universities to be just three years. This way, those who wish to focus on their crafts after secondary school, without sweating through the stress of the uni, will have a brief idea of what most other fields entail. Besides, they'll also get the basic idea of what theories underpin their chosen field. BTW I must add that I'm all for free primary and secondary education in all parts of the country. 1 Like |
