The claim that school is a scam is not exclusive to Nigerian students. As a matter of fact, many intellectuals such as Bernard Shaw had their reservations about schooling. Bernard Shaw was an accomplished writer (a Nobel prize winner in Literature) and a famous contributor to political science. He thought of schooling as a waste of time. In my own perspective, schooling is not entirely a scam. However, to many famous people of sound minds, schooling is a scam. Many sound minds were self taught. They didn't go to school to learn what they became famous for. But the problem is that some of the books they read were probably written by people who attended school. So, school is not entirely a scam. Even in Nigeria, unemployment, and working in a different field from one's field of qualification does not necessarily make school a scam. 1 Like |

EDUCATION- the activities of instructing activities that impart knowledge or skill. Education is to SOLVES problems while most call it a SCAM is because here in Nigeria they still leaving in an illusion of this graduate,get job bua haha getting education is not confined to a school or 4 walls of a building it's might be from reading a book,going to library,getting a vocational skill e.tc i have learnt more from YouTube than what the lecturers taught me in university ,what is not SCAM and should be made mandatory is BASIC EDUCATION (primary and secondary school) like the ones taught back then in 70's although some private school also teach this, basic aritimetic and being able to read and write ,that's why in my opinion primary school and secondary school should be made mandatory for every student and get a well sound teaching at that level while university should be made optional n IF everyone becomes a professor who will create the jobs ,who are the individual that will go into SPORTS,fashion e.t.c BUT THE SOUND BASIC EDUCATION IS NECESSARY e.t.c nice Witte up OP

Dpsychologist: I was specific. I said, “graduate with a 1st Class or a high 2.1” You can be hardworking and graduate with a third class. I’m focused on the result. I have never seen a 1st class or a 2.1 graduate from the worst Nigerian university cry out, “school na scam”. Even 2.2 or 3rd class that have a vision and are hardworking do not shout that nonsense. 2 Likes |

School can never be scam. The whole idea about education isn't just about getting a job. Yes, there are vicissitudes that make education in this part of the world not so effective(poor curriculum, poor teaching aides, under equipped labs, half- baked lecturers among other factors) but I believe that a student who is ready to learn would think outside the box on how to consolidate the knowledge s(he) gets from the classroom. Yes, there are no jobs, but who says you can't create one? School/ education is meant to shape our thinking. Reason being why a graduate tends to think better, act better... The only factor that makes education a scam is when the student passes through the four walls of the university without the university passing through him. 1 Like |

Karleb:I read everything and i mean everything. The truth is Nigerians dont read anymore. Even the lecturers are the worst. They teach redundancy and call it syllables. how can you claim to have taught a course for years and still dictate from your dusty-rusty manuals from the 90's. whatever happened to reading and understanding? To be honest you cant expect a student to retain knowledge when you impacting it cannot apply common sense and adapt to change. As you said "OP should learn to not write everything in his head' A very vital approach when you consider the attention span and interest rate of today. Reminds me of one of my lecturers then in uniben. The man would always say "stop cramming your fucking handouts and understand what you read...the world has changed'His exams and tests were indeed mind blowing. 1 Like |

Epositive: You have never step your foot in a farm for practicals? Were/are your feet tied? Don't you have fallow lands around your house/neighbourhood. Your lecturer does not give a freaking frack about your practicals because with or without that, he is paid...do you want to tie your destiny on this inadequacy? Yes, the curriculum in other schools abroad are more fine tuned, but are you also aware that you can equip yourself with the content of this curriculum? Run a google check on each topic from the curriculum, watch YouTube videos, try it on your piece of land and you are good to go. |

Juliearth:Where should he get the mechanized tools and apparatus he would need to apply from the farm? Should he download it from YouTube too? Keep in mind he paid for these practicals through his school fees Come on, in as much everyone knows he'll need to improve his/herself, but there are some things only school can provide and mostly practicals is one of them. That's why the op talked about revamping our educational system, cos it's things like this that make Nigerians to churn out half-baked graduates. |
