Here here! I think students nowadays think that once they finish Uni, the world is their oyster and it will be an easy ride! Half of that is true, but it is not because of a Uni degree, they will have to work just as hard as everyone else at finding their place in the world. Success takes dedication, passion, individuality and last of all, skill.
"On the other hand, the curriculum of most departments in our tertiary institutions needs to be revisited. Many of our lecturers are still analogue and are quite lazy to embrace the digital world. It is pertinent that our lecturers become abreast with latest developments in their various fields of specialization."
I will focus my thoughts on this.
I was in a meeting of Education stakeholders in Anambra State sometime ago and a "Prof" in one of our citadels of learning boast of how he still makes use of a lesson note he made in 1980s, it only took the efforts of my Principal and that of the Honorable Commissioner to query the man on the validity of his lessons.
It's is so archaic and shameful that our teachers both in Primary, Post-Primary and Higher Institutions cannot boast of modern instructional methodology/or update themselves in tending topics.
This shows that our Education system needs total overhauling and reforms inevitable so as to produce great minds that works in tandem with time. We cannot be in the 21st century and still boast of 19th century Education system., it can't work.
I call on all concerned bodies to look into our Education system and salvage the situation.
