This and structure of our educational system needs to addressed. Today in our educational system, many schools, especially private schools are opened just for the aim of making money. People no longer care for the future of our children, these people would just open a school, gather there and assist them in taking exams. Yes, the school helps the children to cheat during examinations so that they could make good grades. We can see that this behavior is well accepted because as long as the children get promoted to the next class with good performance in their report, then everything is fine.
So many Nigerians have literally kill the essence of going to school. Nowadays, everything is so different, parents send their children to school with confidence that their children will pass their exams and not care about the education they will be getting from school. Students of nowadays are so over confident that they will make it through their examinations that there is no need to study. They have abandoned the essence of education since they could easily find answers on the internet, copy from a friend, or even pay their professors to make them pass during examinations.
Nowadays we have so many graduates who claim to have been through school yet have no clue of what they studied. Many of these graduates show their certificate and it quite obvious they did very well. Now who do we really want to deceive but ourselves.
Even if we decide to look into one of the major exams written in the whole of West Africa, we can see that the children passed their exams but the truth is nobody really cares about what goes in and out of these children. This is such a pity, is this really the future of my country? This is a future where we sell our conscience for just money, not realizing how many lives we are jeopardizing. It is quite clear that we as a Nation do not think of "Building", we only think of "destroying". The truth is we are spending our time destroying the lives of our children, who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow.
I cry everyday because of the state of this system that we are living in. All those who feel and think like me should cry out! In this educational system, our children can no longer sit down to write exams, our children have no constructive things to think about. Nowadays, all the children engage themselves in a kind of network crime, they prefer to have leisure more than working to become somebody in the future. People want things to come easily but no body is thinking about the seriousness of building the nation. The men and the women who lead this country have taken their children out to have better education and then bring back their children to rule over the nation, the poor suffer the most, they take way their families, they take away their children, they take away their relatives and cause commotion. They rich now use the poor people against the poor, this is what my land has become.. On the other hand there are many educated parents out there who will do everything in making sure that their children are well educated and part of what they do is send their children to schools where any form of corruption or cheating is not condoned, and if they are not satisfied, these parents fly their children abroad so that they can be sure of a bright future.
This is how my Nation is planing the downfall of the land.With the never ending high level of corruption in the educational sector of our Nation, it does not come as a surprise that we produce graduate who are desperate and can do anything good and most of the time evil. An individual who has passed through school is supposed to be impacted with good morals as that is one of the major essence of being educated. Nowadays, all the importance of being educated are being neglected.
Its just impossible to image that a parent can say that they want the best for their children when they do not support the actual betterment of the children.
