The very popular view in Nigeria is that
education has lost its quality and efficiency and this is not far from the
stark truth
Analysts have identified series of reasons
why Nigeria’s education system is in such a menace, these include;
·
Under-funding
·
Bad state of basic educational
facilities
·
Lack of dedicated teachers
·
Constant strikes
·
Old-fashioned model classrooms
One fact that have been constantly
overlooked is that one basic problem of education in Nigeria is due to TRIBAL
SENTIMENTS. Everything is now based on “I
know you, you know me” attitude. Nigerians now respect PAPER
REFERENCE above real educational performance. Merit is no longer
regarded as it used to be as you must know someone In the EDUCATIONAL
HEAVEN to actually get considered into any educational
institution.
The Universities in Nigeria are heavily
tribalised, thus, seriously questioning the concept of Federal Universities and
state universities having majority of their student from the particular state,
hence taking the issue of educational tribalism into a whole new height.
The situation is not getting any better
rather the imbalance in educational standards tends to be taking a serious
downward slide.
This ethnic imbalance can be cured if
Nigerians can learn to live together. If
people from one part of the country can as individuals, work with other parts
of the country and treat everyone with respect and merit rather than ethnicity
and paper reference.
