A Bill for an Act to abolish and prohibit dichotomy
and discrimination between University’s degrees
and the Higher National Diploma in the same
profession and field, scaled the second reading on
the floor of theSsenate on Wednesday.
The bill, sponsored by the member representing
Ondo Central Senatorial District, Ayo Akinyelure,
specifically seeks to end the ongoing controversy
over wage disparity and gross discrimination
against HND holders in the public and private
sectors.
He said, “The aftermath of continuing injustices,
disparity and discrimination meted to products of
polytechnics in Nigeria is threatening to derail the
nation’s core policy thrust of evolving a
technological and scientifically based, self-reliant
society in the nearest future.
“As I speak, thousands of would-be polytechnic and
technology students are contemplating or have
decided to opt for university education, because of
perceived and real discrimination against HND
graduates.
“If this contemplation occurs, there is bound to be
a vacuum created in our labour market in this
regard, and dire consequences are bound to follow
this trend.
“Over the years, several entreaties have been put
forth to the Federal Civil Service authorities to put a
stop to certain glaring wage disparities and
discrimination against the HND holders, and all
these have been to no avail.”
He said to make matters worse, certain federal
parastatals were known to openly discriminate
against HND holders to the extent of limiting their
progress within the hierarchy of such government
bodies.
“To all intents and purposes, a government
employment policy that places degree holders
ahead of HND holders without recourse to skill and
ability of the HND holder thereof, does more harm
than good to the nation’s development,” he added.
Akinyelure, who is also the Chairman, Senate
Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public
Petitions, further argued that empirical evidence
had shown that polytechnic graduates of
accountancy, engineering and some other
professional curses are better on the job than their
university counterparts.
Senators, who contributed to the debate, noted
that the issue of dichotomy between the two
certificates could only be addressed if the
curriculum of polytechnics was improved upon and
ensure that it was rich enough to award degrees.

I think what we are all fighting for is success, and ones someone is successful irrespective of where he graduated from, the grand mark has been fixed then.

[size=30]YAWNS!!![/size]

This line of success or no success is getting boring

When university students start hustlin' to get direct entry admission into polytechnics then talks can start on having a level ground

Till then


University is the highest institution for learning
