Even as a University student, i believe you have no point. They may not have the professors that we have but i believe they are well equipped practically.

Call a 500L university student and a first year polytechnic student to castrate a cow or perform artificial insemination and see who performs better.

Let's not fool anyone, the OP is right. No young student ever plans to attend a polytechnic in Nigeria. There is a scramble for university and so the two major criteria are brain or money, therefore, the less intelligent ones are shoved aside and shared between polys. and the NCE.
So if your in a polytechnic your not intelligent enough, although you might be very brilliant: Find wisdom.

My point: students in the university schooling are more intelligent that ones undertaking the polytechnic education in general.

A polytechnic is less structured, organised and funded than a university, as anything may go in a polytechnic. After all if your so intelligent why aren't you in a university.
Btw, i attended a polytechnic for two years before i upgraded.

Mr op, pack well jare! University students are in no way superior to poly students, its only in Nigeria that University education is seen to be superior to polytechnic education due to servitude mentality of Nigerians. Moreover, Nigerian professors are just copy and paste professors producing legions of unemployable University graduates every year.

Avin bein in d polytechnic system b4 headin 2 d university, I can categorically tell u dat some polytechnic students are far more beta dan dis university counterpart.
University at times is always over rated. Imagin in ICAN examinations polytechnic graduates recorded 80% success while their university counterpart failed woefully.
Be that as it may, I just dislike polytechnic bc of SORTING which discourage student frm wrkin harder.

Am happy I av de experience of both polytechnic and university.

I have attend both but in life your output determines your level of success in life, forget certificate I have seen polytechnic graduates performing better than their university mates. Education is to enrich our knowledge and certificate is an evidence of your time and performance in school, the day we start thinking beyond certificate unemployment will reduce because we will invest our time into productive things rather comparing certificates

You have a point but beyond the four walls of the school is another world that goes beyond certificate to succeed, did you know many people are being frustrated by admission every year and you expect the person to keep on waiting for university admission. The competition is much and not everybody have the time and resources to compete, have you forgotten the nigerian factor in admission process. You attended polytechnic which means you are not intelligent by attending polytechnic first before you upgrade your school and IQ

Why can't we all reason together n map out ways to chart nigeria cause forward What's the relevancy of this ur analogy to the topic in debate
I was opportuned to come across the both divides, for real no scholar in nigeria plans to enrol into nigeria polytechnics buh Jamb palavers keep on swaying students poly-wards.
Truth be told many brilliant scholars abound in poly buh how their intellects re been harnessed leaves much to be desired n thus, most brilliant students end up as just mere average students while the supposedly average students become mediocres.
Yes! In the university, an average student can end up either ways...from average to excellent or average to almost nothingness; whilst there's this tendency of a formerly dull student from high school ending up to become great graduate. Thus, the nigeria mentality of nothing good comes out of nigeria poly student cajoles and dwindles poly student ability and highly, the quality of lectures between the divides comes into play too.

Same thing I keep saying.

Poly students lie through their teeth when they claim to do more practicals than their university counterparts.

Isn't it the same poly where we are told there is no light for us to conduct practicals and there's no fuel in the generator?

Even at that, Most employers now prefer those with HND and ND to those with degree because they believe the poly graduate will deliver almost same thing with his uni counterpart and his pay will b on the average.
Most students find themselves in Polys coz of the competitiveness of Uni admission. As a poly student if you have the opportunity, proceed to a Uni after ur ND...

On a very light note and sorry if sound mean. I don't want to say much; i have a badmouth sometimes.
A person who struggles to gain admission for years is not intelligent. A person who attends a polytechnic is not bad he is just not good enough.
Since your talking about me: then, i don't know if i was a brilliant kid but when i couldn't gain admission my first year, i knew i had to attend a university no matter what, i enroled at a poly. and two years later i left. I never wrote any exam twice. Now is that intelligence or what?
A person is not a fool to fall, a person is a fool to remain on the ground.

I must say that this post shows how jobless you are. I don't think a working class person who has been working all day and tired as a result of fatigue would have time posting this trash

If I may ask, why ranting against polytechnic education? With your so called Bsc, where did you park your private jet? What height have you attained in your life ? Which of the latest Ranger Rover Sport are you able to afford? How have you influenced the less privileged ones in your society? Can the people in your society look straight to you and say, " if not for you"

I have a friend who's not so educated,
I so much envy that dude, he's very very creative and doing fine in his business. People are busy striving to meet their daily needs and that of their siblings, some people are busy claiming superiority

OP you better start doing something meaningful with your life and start seeing your Bsc as a bo.nus because the adoration and appraisal of your Bsc is the beginning of the joblessness and poverty and if you think your Bsc is an automatic passport to winning the race of life, why not continue and stop giving yourself unnecessary worry

Bro God bless you for this. I am also a product of both Polytechnic and University and I can categorically tell you the practical they lay claim to is nothing but a hoax. I can't see anything special or so spectacular about the so called practicals we did in Polytechnic. When i got to Uni, i could remember raising this same issue with some other Polytechnic products but different institutions who also shared same view.

Polytechnic education would have been what's originally intended for, but for lack of funding. Majority of their laboratories are ill-equipped with old Lab attendants who have failed to update themselves to the new generational syllabi and techniques.

I know most Nigerians don't like TRUTH but DECEIT and anyone that speaks the truth is their enemy. Lets stop deceiving ourselves for once.
