What Nigeria needs, in this century, to add value to the world, is the intuition of creative minds; but if these minds are obscured by constraints and presuppositions of grades-instead of learning and grasping-it would be difficult to procreate ideas.
One cannot, however, gainsay the notion that education in this part of the world has shifted from its focal point. I would conjecture that the school system in Nigeria is destroying a generation of minds by burgeoning the desire for grades above learning. The school system should build schools in people’s mind where the world can learn from.
Heretofore, it has been instilled in the souls of teachers to teach and grade students without paying sentient attention to the digestion and concentration of knowledge in a learner. As a result of this, learners begin to see learning institutions as doors that must be unlocked by grades alone. This is not an ingenious way of crafting a safer future for the nation and the world.
A lot of minds have been corrupted to presuppose that the certificate is all they need. But that is a blatant self-deceit. Certification is not a parameter for education and intelligence. How can you add to knowledge as an individual with what you have been taught? How can you contribute a solution to the multifarious conundrums in your society? A lot of employers also eat from this venom by admittedly believing that certification is the reservoir of education.
Education is like a mirror with which we discover the potentials in us; it is the flashing of light that reveals the intuitions we are passingly familiar with; but, need I reiterate, the school system is raising and honouring a generation of decaying minds that are coaxed to read for the sake of good grades alone.
