Nigeria is considering a major policy change to its tertiary education that would see graduates go for an extra year of studies.
Anthony Anwukah, the Minister of State for Education, disclosed this on Tuesday at a two-day retreat for governing councils of federal universities in Abuja.

He said this was being considered because many university graduates were not good enough to be employed by industries. He said the proposal was similar to the extra year currently being undertaken by law and medical students.

Anwukah added that the university system has let Nigeria down in the country’s quest for industrial development. He said the universities have failed to produce graduates that meet the needs of the industries.

Mr Anwukah, how is it difficult to understand that all the curricula we use from Primary to Tertiary are outdated? They are fit for 17th Century.

The books we read and study from outdated books. Lecturers carry outdated knowledge around (even those that know little). Tell me how your one year addition will change the system.

Curriculum is to be changed according to global changes neither stagnant nor updated according to what you think.
