Fellow nairalander this just came up on my mind, as there as been so much debate about discrimination against Hnd holders unlike their B.sc counter part, but i want to put this to the house, should HND really be equivalent to HND,
I am of the view that HND should never be equivalent to B.sc, for the following reason,
The way the institutions awarding this degrees are strcuted,
as we know the universities awards B.sc degrees and we all know the the rigour you go through, before you get awarded this degree, talking about, the lectures, many of them phd holders and professor, of years and years of experience,
unlike the hnd holders, where b.sc graduates and hnd graduate head the institution
secondly, you get tutored by quality lectures including professors and phd holders, while unlike the HND counterpart, mere b.sc degree holders are thier lectures, some are even hnd holders,
b.sc is really in depth into the theoretical aspect and well into practical, thats why we have the industrial training, siwes, practical for science,
this enable the b.sc graduate to know why things are done, and not just doing them, since he has a better understanding of the principles and strong foundation to build upon any practical work, this gives him and edge and make him better in acquiring further higher degree to improve his qualification
unlike the Hnd holder, he dwells basically more on practical, and does not knwo why things are done, example, enginering, an hnd graduate know the how to do the engineering work better maybe, in the practical side, but the b.sc graduate know the principles that governs engineer, which is what you need to know, before you talk about practical, even though the practical is very essential you cannot underestimate the fact that this principles and fundamental which the b.sc graduate is more deep into, make him better in carrying out more research, that can greatly improve the engineering field, solve the world problems and bring in new innovation,

with these little tips, i believe that the hnd graduate should really be expecting the same pay, in the organization, as the b.sc conterpart cos they honestly didnt go through the same learning process,


please share your views, what do you think, dont criticise lets hear your own view, i might be wrong, it will be nice to know what you all think,
by the way i happen to be a b.sc biochem graduate from oou, dont say i am bias, lets hear what you think
candid opinion only

maybe, maybe not
