The Nigerian University system is structured to educate, orientate, inform and implement academic policies that will eventually produce graduates of various disciplines after successfully undergoing series of intense study procedures. This is achieved by a set of guidelines (usually) set up by the governing bodies (JAMB, NUC etc.) tasked with enforcing policy(ies) and ensuring that certain standards are met by the academic awarding institutions.

These institutions are usually graded by the calibre of graduates they turnout, based on their academic prowess and the performances of these graduands in the labor markets amongst other criteria (conditions). In Nigeria today, the private varsity graduates are considered as being better and often given an edge during job placements, appointments, interviews, seminars, discourse, and other public presentations over the government owned ones as a result of immunity that cover the private institutions. For instance, while Madonna, Caritas, Covenant and Igbinedion Universities charge as high as Eight Hundred to One Million Naira as annual tuition fees, the University of Calabar (which is my case study) students across all Faculties and Departments haven’t paid anything higher than Fifty Thousand Naira (and even less) as tuition fees for a whole Session. The irony is that these private university graduates aren’t better than their contemporaries from the public universities during public outings (challenges).

In other countries of the West, private institutions are seen as a dumping ground for students who aren’t bright enough to be admitted into the public schools. In fact, students of public varsities are often used as reference points to their peers in the private ones. Harvard University, University of Oxford, University of Leeds, University of Pennsylvania, Oklahoma State University, Illinois State University, University of California, University of Toronto, Warhouse University India, University of Arizona, and Sheffield University, to mention only a few are very famous institutions with pedigree and the graduates there churn out competent enough to be staged on any platform around the world. This is because successive governments approach education like their personal businesses from inception and today, graduates of these schools can stand the taste of time anywhere in the world. Their policy is; quality and sustainable education for all.

What do you mean by the bold part?

Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania are private institutions, does it mean they are dumping ground for students who are not bright enough?

Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania are Government owned institutions. By their names, you should know better.

Baba Harvard is private o

Huh

Time for hard knocks...
Whoever wrote this poo is proof that the public Nigerian educational sector as gone to waste. Out of the top ten universities in the world. Only Cambridge, Oxford and Uni of California, Berkeley are public. Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Cornell are all private universities. So how can u a university graduate not know that the best university in the world is a private university.
