Our Schools must prepare our Students for the World of Work



Young people in schools today will be joining the work force tomorrow. The question therefore is whether Nigerian schools are preparing students for the workplace or just preparing them to memorize and regurgitate during examinations. Nigerian students need to move away from rote learning and memorization to understanding what is being taught with the objective of using it creatively to solve problems and come up with creative solutions and products in the 21st century work place. Schools should teach technical, innovation, creative and generic skills needed in the 21st century workplace.

Education in Northern Nigeria

RAG-CLAD boys, proffering plastic bowls and calling out for cash, line the streets of most big cities in Nigeria’s Muslim north. But they are not street kids. These are almajiri children, students of Islamic schools who have been sent from their homes to learn their religion. Almajiri means “immigrant”, signifying that the children come from far and wide to imbibe Islamic values.
