Make una keep deceiving yourself.


How will you compare Bsc with ordinary HND.

To get admission in University, you need to score as high above 200 in JAMB.
But with just 120, you will get admission in any Polytechnic of your choice.


Incase you want to beat me, come my house

Afriqan:
Better... At least that would stop HND holders from being cheated when they do the same or even more work than their BSc. counterparts without getting recognised or promoted!

Mckeni007:
It's very selfish to compare an HND to a Bsc
One who's supposed to be an assistant Lecturer in university is an HOD in the politechnic.
Universities lecture politechnic lecturers
Politechnic is a dumping ground for below average intellectual students
Politechnic admission process is more like that of a secondary school

tydi:
They should also create jobs and not wasting time on frivolities .

Naija legislature Na scam!

Judiciary Na Junk.

US colleges and universities accept HND graduates directly for MSc programs. World Education Services (WES) is one of the organizations who evaluate Nigerian degrees for advanced degrees in the US. If you have completed 120 credit hours at a college in Nigeria, your credential is evaluated as equivalent to a US degree and you're accepted directly into a Master's program.

Freksy:


In many companies, employees from polytechnics perform far better than those from the universities. They work with more confidence, and with little or no supervisions on technical jobs. Graduates from universities are found to be fairly better when it comes to paper works. It’s rather very selfish to say the dichotomy shouldn’t be removed.

adanny01:


In my humble opinion, the national assembly should not have passed anything with regards the issue because no matter how they try, HND is not equivalent to Bachelors. The curriculum is not the same and the employment industries is also not the same if employment opportunities are readily available.

COREN will still not admit HND holders to Engineers register until they add a PGD. A Bachelors degree gets you on the Engineers register, HND gets you on the Technologist Register, OND gets you to the Technician register, and NABTEB, WASSC etc gets you on the craftsman register.

That's a system that the National assembly should not be interfering with. It is the responsibility of the ministry of education.

If both Bachelors and HND gets you to the Engineers register who then becomes a technologist.

Meanwhile, HND by training is designed to be employed as a technologist while the Bachelors is trained as an engineer. The best thing if they really wish to end the dichotomy is to abolish the HND and by implication the OND too. That is another complication arising.

Simplythebest:
This should not only be on job. It should include doing masters both in and outside the country after finishing HND not that they will tell u that u can't do masters with HND that is not recognized. The school aspect should be the major priority cus the HND is not recognized outside the country. They should make sure that HND and BSc is use and accepted like WAEC and NECO but in and outside the country.

tayooluwole:


You're daft, I am a Bsc holder but i will like you tell me the difference between BSC and HND. No be the same environment of learning? Most HND holders i know are far brilliant than some of us way grad from Uni

Isobug:

So you don't have reasoning? Common sense cannot tell you it's because of this same dichotomy that led to that?
This is the explanation: Too many candidates are applying for a University degree due to fear of dichotomy and superiority issue. Now candidates overwhelmed Universities draining that of polytechnic. This scenario warrants Universities to increase the their Cut-off mark as many Departments will not hold more than their quota.
If I may ask you why do some University Department cut higher than the other? The answer is clear, thesame thing apply to HND/BSc.
For quoting sake, I started with polytechnic, idah, went University of Calabar and University of Akron for postgraduate

Polytechnics are not of same standard with Universities, that's a fact. Why then should their degrees be regarded as equal? A Master's degree holder can rise to become a chief lecturer (the highest rank in a Poly) or even rector in a Poly while such a person cannot become a Lecturer I in some Unis not talk of Senior lecturer, Associate Professor or professor as he has no PhD; or you feel PhD is a joke?
