Vecto:Practical is not very difficult, you can be very good in practicals without going for advanced studies. The most difficult part of any field is the theory and that is the backbone of all practicals. |

Most of the poly grads I meet are very sharp intellectually and can defend their certificate better than uni grads 2 Likes |

POLYTECHNIC students would be here to exercise their superiority based on practical experience. But I've been on both waters. The practical aspects is load of illusions. Most of their coursework are very outdated. They focus only on their departmental course for five years. I mean no borrowed course from other departments in same faculties. The majority of their lecturers are bachelor of science graduate even at lower cadre, NCe. Even they would deny that inexperienced corper would teach them a core course in their first year. 2 Likes |

12submarine:You must be joking man. Can you imagine someone teaching you to swim or drive a vehicle, within four walls of a classroom? It is impossible!! You have to get into the water to learn swimming and you have to be out on the road to learn driving. Some subjects are skill based and practice oriented. Theoretical knowledge of skill- based subjects needs to be supported by practice. Subjects like teaching and engineering are skill based. In these subjects, practical knowledge is more important than theoretical knowledge. Practical work includes experiments in laboratories, study tours, projects, assignments etc. the advantages of practical work are unmatched. Getting theoretical knowledge has no value until students can apply it for practical purposes. 1 Like |

[/b]As a matter of fact, in the UK, the highest diploma awarded in a Polytechnic, a HND, will allow the recipient register for the 2nd year of a 3 year degree. This clearly states that the value is short of a degree.[b] I hate it when pple just jump on the internet to write rubbish because they have access to data. HND in the UK is a second level degree programme and you are allowed to apply and ll be admitted to 3rd year, the reason is that HND in the Uk is a two year program total of 240 credit load and when you are admitted into third year you ll have to take the remain 120 credit load which sums up to 360 credit load which is the total crdit load you are required to take before obtainig a degree in the UK. Nigeria HND is higher than the British HND, because Nigeria HND takes a total of five years to complete (including I.T)and has over 360 credit load (if you sum up the total credit load from ND to HND). In Nigeria Universities the total credit load to obtain a degree is 120, of which you will agree that the Poly guys are being short changed. Never you compare Nigeria HND to any HND programme in the world because it is higher and "unique " interms of content and credit loads. Our ministry of education lack the vision to re-structure our HND programme to meet the mordern day system. Don't get me wrong I'm not here to compare Poly to Uni,no that is no the issue. It is time the law that established Poly is re-visited, countries like Ghana, Namibia etc have upgraded and started phasing out Poly gradually. 2 Likes 1 Share |

obawinner:You call *practical* load of *illusions*? Are you serious? Efficient learning relies mostly on application of a skill rather than just memorising. When you learn something new, you imagine and visualize it, but that's just the theoretical aspect. You don't do the main stuff. In science we do the main stuff and that's practical. If most of our scientists were just theoretical oriented based we'd still be counting stars in the night. 1 Like |

Vecto:You cannot get an engineer with complete practical and theoretical knowledge at the same time. No professor in mechanical engineering can strip and assemble a car, yet professors are recognised even in advanced countries. Division of labour is what makes engineering to be divided into categories. Engineers, technologists and craftmen. Uni graduates are engineers and poly graduates are technologists. Take it or argue the way you like, universities graduates are justifiably graded ahead of their poly counterparts even in the labour markets. Just imagine dealing with complex electromagnetic waves on the field when you don't know the theory behind it. Ask yourself this question, why do multinationals place university graduates ahead of poly graduates both in grade level and salaries? Or do you think those companies don't know what they are doing. Theory is more difficult than practicals. You don't need advanced education to be good in practicals. Have you also wondered why there are more cases of withdrawals from universities than in polytechnics? Driving and swimming don't require intensive academics. You should be talking about things like engineering etc. |

Vecto: How do you expect the university degree holders to have any respect for Polytechnic Diploma holders when you actually expect a driver of a car to be more important than the designers of the car. I believe this one is still a student in the polytechnic and is yet to see how the engineering industry really works. 1 Like |

This recycled and old meaningless argument and comparisons of a failed educational nation has been raised again I still don't know why mediocrity, nepotism, condemnation, corruption and unhealthy comparison thrive among youths Education is very paramount but people should learn to embrace entrepreneurship and stop getting worked up over which certification supersedes the other There are a lot of graduates roaming the streets. The earlier people know this the better for them 1 Like |

Well, let them discriminate HND am a proud HND holder, and am using it to work in an oil company, those of you shouting B.Sc, B.Eng or B. Tech. what job have you gotten with it? It is not about your Cert. is about what you can offer. have seen many guys in this oil and gas sector with HND Cert. So who cares about their discrimination. |
