EDUCATION: A MIRROR OF THE SOCIETY

2014 IMMIGRATION TEST QUESTIONS : THE KILLER TEST QUESTIONS

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2014 Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) Recruitment Exercise which resulted in lots of injuries and death has conveniently been titled " the killer recruitment exercise", " a show of national shame" , " job seeker's reunion and parade" and lots other titles. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Equally disturbing was the service's "killer questions" served to candidates during the test exercise.Candidates were required to answer each of the 30 questions within a time frame of one minutes, yet in their confession, each question requires "critical reasoning and thinking on the part of the candidate" . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thus, most candidates - rather than leave the questions unanswered - randomly shaded options from each question before submitting. As one candidate remarked to me after his test : " Not even the Controller General of the service can answer these questions in 30minutes" <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Questions rendered below are not the complete set of 30 questions served to <b>university graduates </b>at one of the centres</div>

NO ENDING TO ASUP STRIKE

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Any hope to ending the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (A.S.U.P) was yesterday dashed after the meeting between A.S.U.P executives and representatives from the ministry of education ended in a deadlock. Both team has been in and out of several meetings in the past with little to no progress at resolving their differences. <br /><br />
The latest round of meeting which ended on Wednesday evening went in the direction of past meetings, according to the National Publicity Secretary, Mr Clement Chairman, the government had brought nothing new to the table and the union has no choice than to continue its strike action. Mr Chairman said, " Federal Government has offered nothing other their former position and A.S.U.P is not accepting that. We see the strike prolonging " <br /><br />
The union's strike is in its 5th months and with no end in sight, thousands of polytechnic students may have to wait "forever" before returning to school. The union is demanding among other things, that Needs Assessment Committee be set up to establish areas of infrastructural interventions in polytechnics, constitution of Governing Councils for polytechnics as its obtainable in universities, improvement in salary structure and an end to the discrimination of polytechnic graduates in the labour market. <br /><br />
While the crises linger on, both parties (ASUP and FG) have shifted blames for the deadlock in negotiation. </div>

THE BEAUTIFUL ONES ARE DYING !

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Too early, too soon, the nation was again thrown into mourning over the killing of innocent students in the troubled North East of the country. Over 40 students were reportedly killed in this latest savagery attack on schools in the region. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While no group had directly claim responsibility of the incident, the attack bears the hallmark of the dreaded Boko Haram group operating wild in the region. The group had been fingered for similar attacks in the past, most often leading to closure of schools in the affected state(s). Like the previous killings, the students were attack and killed as they slept in their dormitories in an overnight raid on their school - Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, Yobe State. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike in most civilize nations around the world where all the resources of the state would be mobilize into finding and prosecuting the perpetrators of such attacks, our politicians only gave the knee jack response, condemning the act, issuing statements after statements in a well familiar fashion, but little or no action has been taken to forestall such killings in another few months time, nor to bring the perpetrators to book. <br />
As families of the victims mourn their loss and are preparing to bury the dead, bigwigs of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (P.D.P) including the Nigerian president were gearing-up for a big political rally elsewhere in the country, just how insensitive, selfish and little value is attach to the blood of our dying dreams. Not a single day of mourning was declared to reflect and grieve on this monumental loss of life nor was any day declared for any other recent attacks on defenseless victims of Boko Haram, instead, a high ranking member of the government was alleged to have orchestrate a failed blackmail of one perceived political enemy through associating him with the killings incident. No doubt, the administration seeks to escape its primary responsibility and score a cheap political point as the 2015 general election approaches. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These men - the ugly generation - won't leave the stage and would not let the beautiful ones live. They are trading the country's future for the gains of today - no, of their pockets. The country still do not have an education minister (just a supervising one) ASUP and COEASU strikes is ongoing and lots of schools are under lock and key in Boko Haram affected states, yet, the president is on a political tour in attempt to win the next general election. To the political class, winning elections seems more important than keeping the youths in school, protecting the lives of school children and creating jobs for the teeming unemployed graduates. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Things may not totally be hopeless now, but are definitely worrisome. It would be insane to not worry for the future if substantial number of higher institutions are locked down by striking lecturers and students are being killed in their sleep. More than ever, our education system needs a Moses not luck any longer. </div>

EDUCATION SECTOR : SOLVING THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM (FIRST PART)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unemployment is a big issue in Nigeria, the country has the largest human population on the African continent with an estimated population of about 165 million and youths represent over 55% of this population. A 2013 statistics released by the National Population Commission indicate that youth unemployment stands at 54%. So disturbing is unemployment rate that the 2014 National budget was tagged by the government as " budget of job creation and inclusive growth "<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The unemployment problem is strongly tied to the type of economy being operated in the country, which is largely dependent on oil export. Despite large revenue generated from the oil industries, limited jobs are created from it. In addition, much of the revenue is lost to corruption in the public offices. Previous efforts to diversify the economy such as investment in agriculture and solid minerals so as to create more jobs for the teeming population has most often suffered set backs largely due to corruption. However, one sector of the economy that has yet to be extensively explored in job creation is the education sector. The education sector comprising of schools, ministries, commissions, agencies, publishing houses and educational material industries are manpower intensive. With the appropriate strategies and investment in education, several millions of Nigerians would be gainfully employed. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manpower deficiency in the education sector - particularly in the rank of qualify and trained teachers - is well known both by the government and the larger public. This problem was also highlighted by the recent strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (A.S.U.U) and the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (A.S.U.P) strike. Among its demands, the unions pray government to recruit more lecturers to compliment the available ones, who in their arguments are over stretched. Labour deficiency isn't confined to the tertiary education system alone, the ordinary level is suffering similar problem. Public (primary and secondary) schools are notorious for having a low teachers to students ratio. In some rural and remote areas, schools are all but names. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Labour deficiency in the education sector is certainly a dire problem that requires urgent attention. Direct investment into the sector through the recruitment and training of graduates as teachers would greatly impact youths unemployment rate. Thousands, perhaps millions would be taken off the street and ultimately employed. But not only the recruitment of teaching staff, also of non-teaching staff that are badly lacking, from administration, through security, works, maintenance, sports, transportation, cleaners, gardner to library. Staffing of these essential and non-essential department would create jobs and job opportunities that will greatly depress unemployment rates. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another job opportunity in the education sector lies in schools infrastructural development through governments investment. Since the adoption of Structural Adjustment Programs (S.A.Ps) by the government in the 80s, at the time of economic downturn and fall in oil revenues, infrastructural development in schools have been in decline while the available ones deteriorates. The trend has continue till date, and with the growing number of students admission, classes are now overcrowded, office blocks are dilapidated and libraries and laboratories are either obsolete or non existence in lots of schools. The challenges of infrastructure are just enormous due to decade of neglect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the trend could be reverse with short and long term investment in infrastructure, in this way, massive jobs and job opportunities would be created, exactly the feat of every administration. Myriad of direct and indirect jobs would be created in building and construction industries, furniture, laboratory equipment, electronics, automobile and printing industries among others. Such investment holds great promises in tackling unemployment. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Through this efforts, several industries tied to education, in particular, the publishing houses would be revitalized, thereby creating more jobs and indirectly solving the nagging unemployment problem. <br />
While this essay has so far focus on the economic gains and job opportunities inherent in investment in education sector, several other gains abide. Asides massively creating jobs, investment in education also serves the complimentary role of improving education standard towards achieving the goals and objectives of the National Policy on Education. In addition, high literacy in the population is achieved and the prospect of a national development through education gets plausible. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Graduates recruitment as teachers in schools as described above have been selectively used by some states governments to tackle unemployment albeit wrongly. Thousands of youths are recruited into the teaching profession in various states as a strategy of both solving the problem of unemployment and inadequate teaching staff in schools. However, the pitfall to this approach is corruption. In Niger State for instance, the government yearly recruit thousands of graduates into its schools - in a popular scheme called " Talba Program "- and most recruits are deployed to the rural areas where teachers are in bad supply.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But due to poor motivation, incentives and salary, most teachers have devise a means to beat the authority and system by simply collecting the monthly salary without ever visiting class or knowing their students. For most people, the scheme is simply a state benefit and support for the unemployed. Thus, if this pitfall is addressed and corrected, the number of youths out of job or actively seeking employment in the labour market would be drastically reduced. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In summary, the education sector is a promising platform on which both state and federal government could directly and indirectly create jobs for its teeming unemployed youths. This would not only compliment other government's efforts at reducing unemployment but also raise the standard of education in the country. However, stringent regulation and monitoring mechanisms has to be put in place to prevent such effort becoming a state benefit scheme for the unemployed. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In conclusion, anyone reading this and thinking, why not investment in industries, health, roads, agriculture or mining, any of which would equally yield substantial jobs and job opportunities. Of course, investment in all these sectors would be good for the economy. However, its people who drives all these sectors and without quality education, all the investment would be a waste. In addition, its education that drives innovation and the development of any nation in today's world is a measure of its investment in education. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to G.K Chesterson "education is simply the soul of a society ..." and in fact, only education brings true development and progress. </div>

OSUN STATE EDUCATION CRISIS : CHRISTIANS ON PROTEST AGAIN

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christians attending faith based schools such as Baptist High School in Osun State have again put up a show of resistance to the state's new education reform. It would be recalled that last year, academic activities in some schools were grounded by <a href="https://www.blogger.com/www.akomst.blogspot.com/2013/10/christians-protest-merger-of-schools-by.html?">Christian activists and parents who were protesting against the new de-segregated school policy implemented by the state government.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As schools were opening for the new term, returning students to Baptist High school - the focus of resistance to the new policy - turn out in mixed dresses rather than the state wide approved school uniform. The Christians opted for white garment while the Muslims wore insignia. The pagan students were also reportedly wearing  masquerade costumes. Not only this, the school's regular assembly session has always been rowdy as students are divided over school anthem. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
