Imokay: I want you to tell the courses in which engineering student are offering in university that polytechnic students didn't offer. for me, am a graduate of polytechnic and I have met my counterparts from university and discovered that they are just empty barrel. i sent my transcript to world education service in USA and the number of credit unit I offered is even more than B.sc. note I graduated with distinction in civil engineering. if u are graduate of civil engineering we can enter into academic duel. 6 Likes |

d federal ministry of interior should be called to order. dis issue is causing palpable tension & irritation in dat ministry. It is unfair & doesn't make for industrial harmony when a section of d work force is being treated & looked down upon so condescendingly. HND holders in dat ministry ar not only classified as non-commissioned officers but also as JUNIOR STAFF. d salary disparity is extremely disturbing. d HND holder earns less than N70,000 while d BSC holder earns a little less than N120,000. To every unbiased person dis is utterly shameful more so when i think of my cousin who spent cumulatively 4yrs in a polytechnic to obtain her HND. While she was in full time school, her friend was working, earning money & attending weekend classes at a satellite campus of a university. Today, she is an Inspector of Prisons earning about N70,000 while her friend who attended a satellite campus on ikorodu road is an Asst Sup of Prisons earning about N120,000. We should always strive 4 balance & equity whether we ar directly involved or not. An injustice to one is an injustice to all. 3 Likes |

Jakara:[b]for HND/B.sc disparity ..... I was once in Polytechnic before porting to uni thus I have experienced both Institutions and I can tell you the condition and parameters of learning in both Institution differs as far as academic is concern. B.sc is Bachelor of Science ...which implies you have been "theoretically, conceptually and pragmatically" equipped to relate with modalities of your discipline while HND , "Higher National Diploma" implied you have been pragmatically (practically) equipped to relate with modalities in your discipline as theoretically and conceptually conceived by a B.sc/M.sc/PhD holder. Polytechnics in a bid to make more money has delved into discipline they don't have resources to undertake ..... at parity, You can't compare somebody who has been tutored by professors with somebody who hardly passed through a PhD holder in his/her entire academic life. Polytechnic is a technical school from her name "technics" the poly implies the discipline in such Institution is more than one technical discipline e.g Civil engineering, Elect elect , Mech eng etc ..... we also have monotechnics , an institution that specialise in one technical discipline e.g Civil engineering. At Parity, you can't expect somebody who is theoretically, conceptually and pragmatically oriented to be at the same level with someone who is much pragmatically oriented with little conceptualizing and theoretical underpinnings, frameworks and background[/b] ....... Also requirements for delving into University at UTME/SSCE is relaxed for those in HND ...... While B.sc is strictly five credits including maths and English and Jamb score of strictly 180 minimum such requirements is relaxed for entrance into poly where U may be talking about 3credit units and 160 below jamb score Please learn things yourself before you dabble into conclusions. Those people who give Poly 70,000 and B.sc 120,000 are not fo.ol and it is not as if they don't know what they are doing . You can't compare B.sc accounting/M.sc Accounting/PhD Accounting with a Chartered Accountant in terms of trainings received and pay ...... the PhD/B.sc/M.sc are academic orientations while ICAN is a professional/Practical orientation that is why HND holders in accounting excel well in ICAN than B.sc Accounting at parity if you have HND , technical orientation, before you can dabble into academic orientation , you would convert you technical knowledge at PGD (Post Graduate Diploma) schools before you move into M.Sc while a B.sc holder will move straight into M.Sc unless you carry third class/pass then you also get to retrained at PGD schools before moving up academic ladder. Education is more than practical, some people evolve these courses we are studying from great effort of research and contributions to knowledge through strong theories , conceptualisations and empirical issues to allow real life relationships between concpets and theories. It is quite embarrassing in Nigeria for some people to just enter into a school without knowing, understanding and preparing for the kind of knowledge to be exposed to ..... You don't just go to school without understanding the kinda knowledge they are impacting therein and the kinda knowledge they have impacted on you. I am tired of B.sc/HND parity .... until you go to University yourself, you would not be able to ascertain the difference between these two levels of knowledge. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

There are so many kids on this thread. Here is a wonderful topic that should be looked into, maybe the power of social media might circulate it and it will get to the appropriate authority. But People are judging here who speaks better English language. And they forgot that English is just a language just like hausa, igbo and Youruba. Being fluent in English language does not make one intelligent. My former boss is from England. He can't really spell some words. I used to help sometimes. But you might be wondering hmmm!!! but that's his language. Just the way some of us can't spell our language but speaks them, that's how English language should be seen. 8 Likes 1 Share |

What obtains in d ministry is unfair & doesn't make for industrial harmony when a section of d work force is being treated & looked down upon so condescendingly.

We should always strive 4 balance & equity whether we ar directly involved or not. An injustice to one is an injustice to all. NB: I'm not an HND holder or a staff of d ministry but I hav a relative in there & I share her pain at d level of mistreatment of HND holders in d paramilitary establishments under dat ministry. 3 Likes |

Jakara:What do you mean by "discriminate " maybe you can explain that a bit better. Though your referral to the constitution is confusing and "confused" I must say with respect. What people earn in practice is determined by the market demand and supply. I won't call it "discrimination" that men footballers and sportsmen generally get paid more than women that is the market. Unfortunately you have used two words here "discrimination and unconstitutional" in very strange ways. If you want to have a debate about equivalence of Bsc and HnD by all means start a thread for that and I am sure there would be no shortage of debaters. This constitutional angle seems quite infantile. The fact that you even raise constitutionality that shows that you lack the cerebral infrastructure to do justice to the subject. The obvious solution is to phase out HnDs as employers clearly don't like them and elevate all HnD awarding institutions to Universities so as to solve the problem of the phenomenon of the so called BINARY DIVIDE. 1 Like |

In my own case, I had to stay at home for 6yrs because I didn't get admitted for d course of my choice and thanks to God I eventually got in. Not that I wasn't admitted into other courses, I had admission all those six years buh they were not my choice.

The truth is, the removal of the supposed disparity that exist between graduates of the two programmes will be more akin to the wisdom of a man that ignored leprosy only to dissipate his energy to treating ringworm. For us, the best solution to address this supposed disparity is for the government to convert the existing polytechnics in the country to full-fledged Universities of Technology to still close the gap of the middle-manpower needs of our society. Perhaps, an understanding of the whole essence of us having polytechnics in the first place will give us a better understanding of the issue here. First, all stakeholders will agree that the Walter Elliot Commission of 1943, Eric Ashby Commission of 1959, Dr. A. Skanska’s report of 1962 and other conferences sought to engender the development of technical manpower in Nigeria. In other words, these are established to train technical middle level manpower in the country. Then the Federal Polytechnic Statue enacted Decree No. 33 of 1979 as amended by Decree No. 5 of 1993, to give legal basis for the establishment of Federal Polytechnics in Nigeria. The principal aim for the establishment of Polytechnics in Nigeria is to turnout the middle-level manpower needed for industrial and technological development of the country. 1 Like |
