Falling Educational Standard In Nigeria and its Causes

The High Educational standard in Nigeria this days seems to have been lowered with lots of Issues ravaging this all important sector of any nations development.

The loss of educational values is one of the factors that has left Nigeria still in the state of underdevelopment as most of its citizens are not developed themselves to tackle the rising issues and demands surrounding the nation today.

This fallen educational standard has been caused by so many factors and issues like General Corruption both in Government and Educational centers, dilapidated study centers in both high and tertiary schools, Lack of innovative and academic friendly study centers that enhances learning. Lack of Modern Facilities and not keeping up with the current academic standards in the world, recruiting of wrong and inexperienced staffs and inability to pay standard staffs, non reviewance of lecturers and staff's salary, too much negative government interference on academic issues without fully implementing most of the beneficial policies that can help and advance education in the country, inappropriate tools to measure academic standards.

The loss of parental values by most parents in checking the academic performances of their Children and wards and in giving them helping hands in sorting their ways into the next academic class or level even when their performances shows they are not qualified for such promotion or advancement. That is why we have so many unemployable graduates in the nation who can't meet the employment demands of many high and respectable organizations and companies both within and outside the Country.

Many Students Generally has lost interest in education as most of them now sees the higher institution as a place where one can just get into by whatever means and get by all means necessary that printed certificate that can only get them a job and not as a place of self development where people need to gain the relevant knowledge and skills needed to tackle most of the high demands and problems of a modern world. With over a Million Student failing the recent WAEC Exam shows that the Level and Standard of education in Nigeria has much been chattered and with even the cut off marks lowered by most institutions many students still were unable to meet up with the new set cut off marks.

Most students are being carried away by so many pleasurable things they see and feel around them and mostly on the internet and many spend hours Facebooking, Pinging and tweeting away time on Twitter and other Social Networking sites (not fully utilizing the many opportunities and advantages of the internet ) and also in entertaining themselves out with the new trends of music and entertainment programs around while forgetting that pleasure comes after labour and success after work.

The Big Issue here is where are we heading to considering all this mess in the Educational system. If this continues we will end up having a fun filled illiterate society surrounded by so many problems and economic instability that will continually leave the people and nation in a state of underdevelopment.

Here are some comments made by people regarding the comic picture presenting the falling educational standard.
