UNIVERSITIES PRODUCE -MANAGERS while POLYTECHNIC PRODUCE - ENTREPRENEURS

and the entrepreneuer after becoming business mogul will still employ university graduate as manager of his firm. . . . .lol who is deceiving who?

Businesstools:

I do not buy the opinion that Degree holders cannot measure up to their HND counterparts.Their responsibilities in an organisation are different.Besides,we are all presented with equal opportunities to attend poly,Uni,Colleges of Edu or others.The choice is for individuals to make.If a person is not satisfied with his educational qualification,the room for advancement is not exhausted.

You are right on point.  Most times you dont get to know this discrimination untill  u are out of the system, and unfortunately both the govt and the employers  are bent on frustrating them.  I hv often asked, if the system is not functional and the standard not acceptable by most institutions, why not scrap it or look into the curriculum.  Even in  Govt parastatal  they can only get to a certain level.  I can never forget Diamond Bank Experience.  

The truth be told going thru the polytechnic and going thru the university, one would not fail to notice why this discrimination is always alive.  the rigours in the uni are more demanding even though in some same courses, polytechnic graduates spend more years.  Now what is the crime of Polytechnic graduates? Why has the govt not bring out a clear view of their reason for establishing polytechnics and their future career chances?that way people would know before hand if they actually want to be at that level.

I attest that most polytechnic students are not there because they are dull but because of the Nigerian factor, Post UME and all the "ojoros"and sometimes the nature of the system which allows one to do OND and later HND. The other hand most lecturers in the polytechnic are average with mostly Msc. few PHDs and are often not interested in breaking records.

In the labour market, i have worked with both products, each institution has its own beauty i appreciate.  I must say that in engineering our university graduates do better while in Accounting and management, our polytechnic products are far better then i ask? why cant the authorities look into this problem and fix things that needed fixing than subjecting people 5 years of emptiness after graduation.

I am a product of both  but for me untill this madness is cured, no one from my linage wd go to the polytechnics.

The fact that you possess HND or BSc has absolutely no influence on your intellectual capability.A Bachelors Degree will only equip you better than an HND.A typical instance in Engineering,Advanced Calculus which comprises of Fourier Series,LaPlace Transforms and others which is offered in 200L in the Uni,is an HND course in the Poly.They don't even go into details.

Konnektions146:

generally, thee is a problem with our academics, I am a HND holder but i can do more than a whole lot of the BSC guys.
i have some job i do and i have so many that graduatd before me and without a job,
yes!, they can be dicriminated upon but yu have tell yurself the truth abt wat yu want in yur life and pursue it.

Agimor:

[color=#990000][/color]I seconded that.truly speaking most polytechnic student are better of than Bsc holder,cause they are taught the practical aspect onlike the Bsc holders of which has notting to show.government should look into this matter cause polytechnic student are highly discreminated.

i think years ago i placed this issue o the front burner somewhere and i just did not get any plausible response well i happen to have thought along your line before entering into the labour market and i would'nt lie to you i still regret not leaving that system at least it would have made a lot of us work on equal terms and our potentials would have been better assessed against our counter parts but all that said what is the solution rambling about this issue or looking at the issue at stake WELL i beg to be challenged by this statement i am going to make but i want to tell you it is a true reflection of whats happening in our environment universities produce managers polytechnics produce entrepreneurs people may not believe or accept this statement but its is the truth after creating we employ the managers whom are still not good enough to manage the system and they all make a mess of it but that's how i see it though i may be wrong but like i said i still need more enlightenment UNIVERSITIES PRODUCE -MANAGERS POLYTECHNIC PRODUCE - ENTREPRENEURS

Your English is truly that of a HND holder. Any BSc holder who writes such a post filled with such scandalous grammatical errors must have graduated from a polytechnic with a BSc.




You are very wrong. Fluency in English language depends mainly on ones background: primary/secondary , home-front ,personal effort and exposure. I can count 100 uni graduates that murder the language like boko haram members murder policemen. Dont even show off on that one, I cant vouch for all Uni graduates.

I want to stick with the school of thought who believes that an individual is not a by product of the school he attends.
People from time past have broken grounds and made discoveries not because they attended the worlds best schools,
The bill gates of this world didn't succeed because he went to havard. Rather he succeeded because he was good at something,
Question we should ask ourselves is what am I good at. That's why u see that 2.1 graduates these days ends up failing tests because the school system is nothing to write home about.
while it might be okay to say that HND certificates are targeted at practical oriented people it doesn't mean that they cannot be better than university graduates, And vice versa.
Please the most important thing u should understand is that there is always room for improvement. And u can b anything u wanna b if u set ür mind to it. Although it might take some time but anything is possible,
take time to do research and find ways to develop urself further. Am not saying its gonna be easy, all am saying is that it can only get better. HND or BSc

Another self-deluded zombie.

So because you are thought how to screw a light buld in makes you better than the man who designed, manufactured and would improve on the light bulb abi?!  

My friend go to a university and learn how things are made and not how to install ready-made things.  

Hmmm!!

Indeed you need enlightenment.

Polytechnic produces enterprenuers, but University produces CEOs of multinational and fortune 500 companies.



And its a lie that companies do not employ HND holders cos I know for a fact that they do.
