So many things are wrong with our educational system but I think these ones needs urgent attention. Let's pass this message to a bigger audience till it gets to those who need to make the changes

1. Review and removal of courses that no longer contribute to our economy demands : take it from me, ASUU, NUC, MOE or which ever body that is responsible for review of courses needs to wake up. So many courses are now irrelevant even in developing country like Nigeria, how much worse in developed countries. Take for example, Agric Engineering has become most useless of all Engineering course, it's not well practised in Nigeria (that's even if it is practised at all), they don't recognize their graduate as an engineer, agricultural mechanization is at just 3-5% and despite all this constraints, schools still have intake and functioning department's for that course. Most companies prefer to hire mechanical engineers to replace them in processing industries. why do we still have such department in our schools, same with social worker course.

We are in dire need of post production knowledge. We battle food price inflation and no solid knowledge or enough innovation on processing of agric produce or how to increase their shelf life during storage. All they do is teach about repairing tractor and studying erosion. what the fu**ck!!. Rename the department and totally restructure the course to meet Nigeria food demands in each zones

Developed countries introduce new courses to equip itself with talent that meets economy demands.

2. Adoption of applied sciences: over the years, I noticed courses like physics in Nigeria are only studied to show how talented we are in computing equations. Little or no impact on application of the theoretical knowledge. Physics, Chemistry, Biology should be brought down to Junior secondary, while the senior secondary will be introduced to applied physics, chemistry and biology . Based on this, a school cert holder can conveniently begin a start-up or go to the university for actual research based on what challenges or observation he encountered while being taught applied subjects in senior secondary. It is only then that our university will be for true knowledge and research rather than hubs for sexual, cultism and other vices. I should be admitted to university based on my statement of purpose, what I intend to solve in the country, not because I have finished secondary school or because I am old enough or because I scored high in jamb and waec. applicable knowledge . A secondary school student should conveniently know how house wiring is done or how to produce/modify energy, how to use different mechanics to solve different labour consuming process

Tourism is so underrated in Nigeria because there is no applicable knowledge, if you see the revenues some countries gain from tourism alone, you will be amazed. The rate at which petty business ravishes our country is annoying and depicts how poor our business mindset are, business that should be part of a service are now standalone business (POS, recharge card selling etc).
Logistics system are poorly handled because everybody wants to become seller and sure plug 🤔lots of unhealthy competition. we only hijack opportunities, we rarely create one because there's no applicable knowledge.

If we don't apply these changes, we will keep buying and importing tech services and products from China and other countries. Unfortunately the money being spent on importing services and products from another countries could have been used to develop and task our own talent to come up with innovative solutions.

3. Standardization of schools: schools both secondary and tertiary are bleeding and wasting lives. Very few private schools have a full set up (complete teachers i.e one teacher to one subject, complete and functional laboratory i.e physics lab, chemistry lab, biology lab, art room, technology room, music room, etc).Walk down few meters down your street and you will wonder why these schools cannot just come together to become a single and effective school rather than the menace they are currently. who are those giving this University and schools licenses to operate without full inspection of their set up. The very few ones that has a full set up will charge as high as millions of naira per term🥶. Imagine if a secondary school student does not know where the liver is or what the liver does, because he only read his books to pass the exam and after that he has forgotten again. Lecturers, teachers, school owners should a be put on their toes to self develop and be initiative. the same method used to standardize banks can be used for schools too. Enough of this mediocrity in our educational system.

The world is changing, and we are behind because our education is behind. we would have enough we'll paying and lucrative job and qualified job applicants if we restructure out educational system. Average youth will not have the need to fight for politics, japa will be reduced, we will have functional startups that truly solve our needs. I even pity our current start-ups (before your idea even matures, things like security, accessibility, electricity, ethnicity and the likes have already choked and killed your idea). We need to do better
