The Newly Proposed System of Education

[Mia Chloe]

I think this is one issue the Nigeria goverment have while making certain decisions concerning issues we face.
Instead of changing these time structures,wouldn’t it have been better if they look into the more inherent problems our educational sector face rather than decisions like this?and this continues going on and on.our government can so better. 

There is a quote from someone I read quite some time ago that read out " identifying the cause of a problem correctly already solves the problem halfway" I think this particular quote can be used to describe most of the problems in the country. Most times the actions taken by the government seems to have zero effect because sometimes they are taken towards the wrong problems.

Some other times it feels like they are aware of the real problem and how to fix it but for some reason still do not want to fix it probably because of personal gains.

Dr. Tunji Alausa, the Minister of Education, has proposed a new educational system that would replace the current 9-3-4 system with a 12-4 structure. In my opinion, the issue with our educational system is not the way it is currently structured.

It would have been preferable to revise the curriculum to make way for agricultural programs, skill development, and technological advancement and not the structure itself.

We currently lack effective teachers, and it would have been more meaningful to hire better brains to teach rather than changing the educational system, because, at the end of the day, what changes is the structure of the educational system, not the problems within it.

What are your thoughts on the proposed educational system?

The proposed educational system that is meant to be adopted has nothing to do with the current prize of food items in the market. It has no benefits as monetary policies are concerned except that it only makes the standard for grading educational qualifications in most foreign countries be equivalent with what we have here and we wouldn't get to sit for extra qualifications certification classes just to meet requirements before visiting a foreign country.

What are your thoughts on the proposed educational system?

This doesn't have any different from the way they changed our national anthem with an outdated one that doesn't address any of our issues, so I don't think this structure will help our educational system in any way. Nigeria's educational system is extremely poor, if you visit some schools, you'll notice that their libraries and labs aren't even operating anymore, and there aren't even high-quality learning resources available for students. So where is the government jumping to if they can handle all of this first?

We are not even sure if things will change in the near future because everyone who rises to power has only one goal in mind: siphon money. Even when money is distributed to change facilities or renovate buildings, it is not used for the intended purpose. This is why we will continue to debate the ills of leadership because there is no indication that they will change.

The government is unwilling to change because their children do not attend those schools, and improving conditions in those schools is not their concern.

I don't see anything different from the former to this new system because it is still the same thing to me. It's juat that students who stopped at JSS3 can use their JSCE result to look for job, but currently JSCE will not be accepted, because from the new change, you are not qualified to get to job with JSCE because it shows that you dropped out from school. The government should think of paying teachers and lecturers their old salary that they are owing them.

I believe this is the only reason why the government is so unconcerned about improving the educational system. I am confident that if a law is passed requiring all children of politicians to attend public schools, the schools will be transformed into a safe haven where knowledge can be easily transmitted.and until then nothing much will be done to improve our educational system.

They would never pay attention to the educational system as long as their children do not attend any of those public schools out there and it does not bother them to do anything about it. The government is willing but the politicians would never do anything about it and as a matter of fact, they fix their lackeys there and use them as a means or conduit for embezzling funds channeled toward the Ministry of Education.

I believe the only thing that can make the politicians affect changes positively in the education sector is if laws are passed by the national house for public office holders children to attend public schools just as you have said but it would hit brick walls because all of them are same calibers of people and would frustrate such bill if sponsored.

What are your thoughts on the proposed educational system?

The minister of education and the ministry just want to show some activity that they are still in existence because they must know that it is the curriculum that needs restructure before the organizational structure.

As far as I'm concerned, the Nigerian educational system and the curriculum they operate under are outdated. We have poor schools, underqualified and underpaid teachers and staff. There needs to be a total overhaul of the system, curriculum, and way of doing this.

Nigeria leaders don't want anything good to come out from a poor man and that's why they are messing the educational system up, so that the poor wouldn't have quality and standard education to compete with their children inside and outside Nigeria. But still even with the poor educational system, God's still using it to enrich the poor students.

This study focuses on the quality of the Nigerian education with a weakness on equitability of the sector and the quality. The challenges in education are as follows: there are little equal facilities and equality in opportunity where the less fortunate are affected a lot. On the same note, there are so many youthful embryo of the poor who through their focused effort and determination achieve their success storeys. Overall, despite the indicated challenges, education is one of the most valuable tools that can change people’s lives. The skill and compulsory drive are crucial for the necessity to change and learn since it is a major step forward, no matter what a person experiences in their system.

What is the use of trying to make certain moves to fix problems and in the end still approach them wrongly by paying the most attention to things that matter the least instead of things that actually matter more and deserve them.

The current educational system of the country is soo down that it actually requires more than adjusting only study hours. More things need to be fixed especially in the public sector basically equipments and other amenities including qualified personnels.

The current education system and curriculum are what our parents used during their time - and up till this day the country hasn’t changed it despite the advancement that is going on around the world - it now feels as if the things that are being thought in school no longer have any usage in our society any more and instead of them looking for how to advance the curriculum or lessons being thought they are busy drafting a new system of 12 years of school.

To me this is just a waste of time and it will most likely not yield any fruit or positive results- they should at the right thing and not something that won’t make any impact.

Our leader are very good with placing their priorities on things which are not even necessary. How can changing the current education help improve the quality of education im the country. Seriously speaking the Minister of Education should have rather focused on how they can improve the quality of education in the country and also how they can update the present teaching curriculum, imagine an undergraduate being thought things that are meant to be thought to primary school student, how can this help the undergraduate hen he eventually graduates, so please how government and leader at various levels should focus on doing things that are more important and necessary rathr than the opposite. Thanks

Respectfully speaking changing the system of Education is not necessary at all. There are othere pressing educational matters that should be addressed things like improving the teaching environment for both teachers and students, and also updating the teaching curriculum., coz it's way too outdated and old.

Honestly speaking, what you said is absolutely right, to be sincere leaders doesn't want anything that will bring improvement to the life of poor man's children, not just the leaders, I have been observing that with a lot of high socioeconomic background (rich people) they don't want low class people to progress in life because they are afraid that the poor may become richer than them, and if the poors becomes rich they will no longer respect them again. Lack of educational facilities and the expensive cost of school fees and so on, are among the factors contributing to the failure of educational system. Since covid 19 pandemic the lives of the poors has been turning around and since then, they have been facing one problem or the other.

Nowadays anything the government do I always think there is a hidden agenda this is because of the amount of mistrust I have towards the government why change a curriculum that your children are not using, why change a curriculum where nobody is complaining about it, there are better things to do things that need the government attention but na wetin no dey affect the society positively na them dey do like that time they changed the national anthem nobody needed that or complained that it has to be changed. I just hope they have the best interest of the citizens at heart and what ever they do benefit us the citizens
