it’s far no longer information that the fee of failure inside the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the countrywide Examinations Council (NECO) tests; the 2 predominant examinations students should adopt for a success crowning glory of secondary college, and to qualify for admission into better institutions of gaining knowledge of, have elevated fairly through the years. the percentage of failure as Nigeria turned fifty this 12 months is so alarming as over 70% of college students who undertook the aforementioned examinations failed arithmetic and English Language; the 2 principal topics a pupil have to skip in an effort to get admitted into maximum courses in higher establishments. A question must be asked; must our training quarter improve or decline as a kingdom?those current occasions have confirmed the insensitiveness of those installed rate of our training area inside the beyond few years to the rotten nature of the sector. every of the choice makers in the sector deliver up their personal policies as soon as they anticipate power, and this has brought about the instability of our education as new syllabus and styles are hired whenever there may be a new choice maker within the sector. humorous enough, the cutting-edge Minister for education inside the wake of the latest failure of students in Secondary faculty certificate Examinations (SSCE), recommended that the range of subjected supplied in those examinations could be decreased from nine (nine) to five (5) as she believed the enormous nature of most of these topics could have been accountable for the scholars’ failure. alas, we may additionally awaken day after today and find out that her opinion has emerge as a law. I strongly disagree together with her opinion and i believed many nicely-meaning Nigerians would do same. At fifty, I agree with Nigeria might have gotten it proper, at least in this critical region, however obviously, we have not.we all believe that youths are the leaders of the next day. alas, we’re rarely doing some thing to make sure that the future is shiny. schooling is extra than simply coaching, analyzing, and passing examinations. perhaps, that is in which we got all of it incorrect. If Nigeria goes to obtain some thing incredible, greater interest desires to be given to the instructional sector. We might not want professors to build this region as we all understand how corrupt the arena has gotten, and every person should have turn out to be a professor by way of any approach- I stand to be corrected, although. We want those who are captivated with the future of Nigeria, people who might be geared up to forsake their comfort for the nation’s sake, those who are visionary. We need leaders, not managers. Leaders paintings by vision, Managers paintings by means of sight.our educational system is obviously heading for doom and our kingdom’s future in jeopardy if those who apprehend education as the coaching and training of the thoughts and person, and now not simply passing checks aren’t allowed to run it. Saving our schooling is the only manner to store Nigeria’s destiny. The future leaders need to understand what leadership is all about, their character needs building. this may be completed through education. We ought to store our education from the savaging decision makers.I don’t know if i am the handiest person who has observed that no longer most effective the choice makers are killing our schooling, the corporate bodies are not helping either. In instances beyond, faculties was exciting for the first-rate students that the alternative college students strive to be higher than them in different matters so one can strike a stability. This become how amazing guys in numerous fields have been born in the beyond. There was once several contests and competitions that saw a wholesome competition broaden amongst students, and that introduced out the quality in many.there’s a ailment in Nigeria now that might see company our bodies and people do most effective matters others are already doing. perhaps it changed into existent then and possibly that turned into why there have been many agencies sponsoring many competitions in colleges. The highlight moved to entertainment some years returned and it had been difficult on our schooling quarter due to the fact as numerous talent-hunt shows and contests emerge each day with massive corporate bodies as sponsors. nearly all organizations doing well and sponsoring things in their giving-returned-to-the-society plan has forsaken the academic sector. young humans win tens of millions of Naira in several talent-hunt indicates across the usa and their opposite numbers suffering to preserve up with the venture of focusing on training regardless of distractions from the perimeters are blown away. nobody seems to be anticipating what the future will convey in the event that they maintain doing nicely in their schooling while there’s an possibility of prevailing thousands and thousands if you could show off your skills. The technology of educative contests and suggests appear to be fading away. We now hear headlines like “21 year antique wins N2.five million in talent-hunt show”. MTN’s “Who desires to be a Millionaire?” appear to be the most famous and most rewarding educative show left, but how many younger humans within the sixteen-25 age range has gained some thing sizable at the show?Youths appear to be dropping it. There are books of preferred knowledge, motivational books, and the likes. what number of have you purchased inside the closing three years as a adolescents? There are corporations with educative applications like talk suggests, contests, and so on. Have they ever gotten a threat at getting accurate sponsors? a few youths confirmed me the prospectus of their company and i used to be impressed to understand there are still youths who’ve a lot upstairs. unluckily, i have not been able to hook them up with a sponsor ever seeing that.i am now not announcing the skills-hunt is awful, neither am I announcing it have to be stopped. i’m only a crusader for trade who believes we may want to use extra sponsors within the educational quarter to assist prepared essay competitions, situation quizzes, poetry contests, etc. permit’s provide educating the youths our exceptional shot and watch what turns into of our remarkable country.as the elders say; “What an antique man sees sitting down, a boy can not see it even supposing he climbs a tree”. allow’s listen out the vintage guys who have always been here and follow their exact advice. they may have visible what we may by no means see.Nigeria is fifty. permit’s join our fingers and paintings hard to make this country a higher place for the approaching ones.
