EDUCATION

     FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PLEASE SCRAP THE SERVICES OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN NIGERIA.

Written by: IBRAHIM MUSA BABA,

     For Nigerian government to succeed in educational sector, they must scrap the services of private schools in the country. This is because most of the elites take their children to private schools and that is why they don't care about the services of government schools in terms of providing quality education to the populace. 

   One of the major challenges is that, you can find a Wife of a Commissioner, Daughter of a Member House of Assembly, A brother to the Senator, Sister to the Wife of a Commissioner appointed as a teacher in government schools. 

  

    But do you expect them to perform their primary assignments? how do you think proper supervision would be carried out on them? how do you think if you seize or terminate their salary or job while they have god Fathers? how do you expect a wife or daughter to the Honourable to hold dusty chalk? how do you think she will feel if her friend see's her shouting? "wannan ai yawane, haba Hajiya? keda kanki kuma kina koyarwa? "

   Remember, for the past 15 years most of the children that have been attended government schools at least they are performing more better than the present generation and from the experience, you will observe that the middle and the upper classes were taken their children to Government schools, because there are no more private schools by then.  

    For now, it is obvious that teachers at those schools (government schools) are often lacking sufficient training, lack of qualified teachers, corruption in the system, poor remuneration system, practicing truancy in their affairs, lack  of technological equipments to teach,  lack of teacher-student relationship. 

   Because this is dominant in public schools, in a class you can have about 90+ pupils/students if not more, with just a teacher, a black board and his dusty chalk, how then will students at the back (who are willing to concentrate) understand what the teacher is trying to explain? is he going to focus on telling those students over there to keep quite or be teaching those at the front of the class? when it comes to demonstration who will be showing them one by one? when they are giving class work, who will be assessing it by that short period of time? 

    Unfortunately, If you are willing to get the best  students or schools out of the country, I would tell you to go for a private school, there are private schools in Nigeria with a lot of good teachers and equipments and well equipped libraries. 

    There remains a huge gap between the quality of the education the wealthy receives. 

    Closing the gap between the education available to the rich versus what is available to the poor remains one of Nigeria’s biggest challenges. 

    There is need for the government to scrap Private Schools in Nigeria, so that the first class (Rich ones) who are also the governing body concentrate on the activities of the government schools for the betterment of the lower classes( peasants). 

MY STAND !

Talaka kam ya shiga uku !!
