I'm just wondering why they don't teach undergraduate high income digital skills like content writing, digital marketing, UI/UX, social media management, etc in the Nigerian higher institutions. People are really making it big with these skills. Not to talk about the fact that you don't have to spend much before developing such skills.

Our education system is just stagnant with no improvement at all. Most of our courses are outdated and irrrelevant in this modern age. Imagine lecturers still teaching computer science students FORTRAN or COBOL programming languages in 2022.

And this thing is easy oo, as they can just easily turn these courses to be compulsory for all departments just like "Use of English" and "Library".

It can also be a one unit course since it's just about teaching students these fundamental skills. I feel it will further reduce the level at which graduates depend on government for jobs.

What graduates may just need is empowerment with materials like laptops, etc.

So, how can we get our government to realize that we need such digital skills in our higher institutions?

You are right bro! I am not even sure if this doesnt apply to our private universities. I believe this is where they can set the pace in our educational system and Make a huge difference!

Indeed our private universities can set the pace since they have students paying high amount as school fees
