NextBuhari:U goof big time. Lots of dullards I can't even quantify in the university system. If u say uni is the Haven for the smartest and most intelligent, that means it's the university that's turning most of them to dullards within the space of 4 or 5 years of study. Because most of the graduates our universities produce these days are nothing to write home about. |

DonroxyII: The bolded is the greatest difference between polytechnics and universities. And since the world started we know that those with the ability for abstract reasoning are far more intelligent than those who are simply technical. The guy who formulates the theory / concepts (Einstein, Newton, Tesla, etc) is more intelligent than the guy who uses the theory/concepts to produce tools. The man who sits on earth and conceptualises the galaxies, even calculating with great precision the distance between the earth and other planets, is far more intelligent than the guy who solves visible problems with visible tools. Herein lies the difference between Africans and Caucasians: Africans are technologists and technicians by nature while the Caucasians are scientists. This not necessarily a problem, as both groups should unite to produce formidable results. |

OlujobaSamuel: This is part of the problem. If you apply to the school without first evaluating your degree, some/many schools do not have internal credential evaluation departments so they will likely reject your degree. That's why there are accredited credential evaluation organizations like WES in the US and Canada. You evaluate your credentials first with them, then apply to the school with the evaluated credential. You'll be surprised the same college will accept it. |
Re: Senate Passes Bill Abolishing HND/BSc Dichotomy by OlujobaSamuel: 11:40pm On Jun 02, 2021 |
geemailer2019:I get you. Some schools are specific about the unacceptabilitty, schools (Canada) that rejects it allows you to enroll for a preMSc programme for a year, more like PGD then you commence your MSc, but you don't need to reapply for the MSc when you conclude the programme, you just update your result and continue with the MSc. Btw, do you know of any evaluation organisation acceptable in European countries, I can't afford to start sending my transcripts to different schools from Nigerian institutions that will take time to process just 1 transcript |

Raph82:Agreed, that our educational standards have generally declined, however, the graduates from the Polytechnics are not any better. Again, most of the best graduating students from the best secondary schools in Nigeria, end up in the universities. Do you have a contrary view about this fact? |

NextBuhari:I laugh in Swahili! ![]() This has really proven to me that u know nothing about what u're talking about. Many could not afford university education, many have nobody to sponsor them. Do u know how many brilliant guys out there that drop out of school every year due to lack of funds to complete their education? So those ones are not smart or have good grades in their SSCE? See don't even go there. So u want to tell me most of those who could not go beyond secondary school education are dullards? Do u even take ur time ones in a while to go out of ur enclave of stupendous comfort to see what people are facing out there? I can give u countless instances. I don't expect anybody to be saying this. |

![]() GreyLaw:You know many fools in the Senate are mostly HND products and Certificateless Products of Abysmal schools .... Most of them even buy their certificate for political and appointment reasons ..... we have far less intellectual on Nigerian Political Sphere .... How could a sane man compare a Poly"TECHNIC" with a University ...... It is like comparing someone with B.Eng Mechanical Engineering and Kasimu that is a Road Side Mechanic who learn from Suraju for 3years ..... Create his own shop and started practicing.... HND/OND is just a way of Formalising the education of Road side technologists and Technical people ........ But when Polytechnic started offering humanitarian and social/management science courses such as Accounting, Economics , Biz Admin, Finance, etc Linguistics, and many just to generate revenue.... That's Nigerian way of bastardising the Nigerian Educational System... We have very long way to go as a Nation and as a People .... if at the Senate (Highest Decision Making Organ of Nigerian People) B.sc is being Equalled to HND ? The Problem is not leaving soon !! |

Drefaithful:You have not done justice to yourself and your education . What I expected you to put up there was the difference between the knowledge module you received in the Polytechnic and the knowledge module you received in the University and how both knowledge module has impacted your Reasonability....... I was also a product of Offa Poly and also a Unilorite .... Infact the academic environment, quality of students and relationship and quality of education differs as well as the curriculum (Module of Knowledge) University impacted more advanced on my knowledge module than Polytechnic....

Don't digress. We're talking about the comparisons between those who successfully make it to both systems. |
Re: Senate Passes Bill Abolishing HND/BSc Dichotomy by Raph82(m): 10:05am On Jun 03, 2021 |
NextBuhari:So all those who successfully made it to university are qualified to be there? And all who did not make it there are not bright enough? What of those who could not afford uni education and decided to port to polytechnics? What of those who were not admitted due to quota system, strong internal politics, the know-somebody syndrome in the university system. What of those who failed Jamb exams many times and took the backdoor to get into the university system with the aid of quack Pre-degree programmes? After the one year Pre-degree programme, the next thing is let my people go. The bolded is never a yardstick to know bright students. |

Very correct. I'm privilege to be trained in both environment, ND, HND and BEng. 1. entry requirements are different 2. A 3 credit in polytechnic is not the same as 3 credit in Uni. Please don't let the size of credit deceive you. 3. The strength and levels of the lectures. With my HND upper credit, I wasn't admitted into 300 level but rather 200 level. I asked the HOD why, he said they used to, but stopped when the performance of those they have been admitting into 300 level continue to decline. At first I felt cheated by our education system, planning to quit the program but was encouraged by friends, loved ones and HOD Mechanical Engineering department. After my 200 level, I was grateful to God because the foundation courses I was thought in polytechnic was a fraction of what the syllabus holds in the Uni ( ATBU). In summary, the government should start from here and abolish HND or face a greater harm in the future DonroxyII: 1 Like 1 Share |
