'There should be a shift from the present curriculum, which aims at producing certificated individuals rather than individuals who can contribute practically to the development of the country.' Nigeria Curriculum Education
The governor, who spoke at a lecture commemorating the 110th Founder’s Day of King’s College, Lagos, at the weekend, said there should be a shift from the present curriculum, which aimed at producing certificated individuals rather than individuals who can contribute practically to the development of the country.
He commended the legacy schools, especially King’s College, for “producing leaders who are contributing to national development”. Fayemi, who urged government at all levels to build more schools to cater for the rising number of students and curb overloading existing schools beyond their capacity, said the current challenges facing the nation’s education sector must be surmounted now to provide the “required solutions for Nigeria’s development in all ramifications – generation after generation.”
President of Kings College Old Boys Association, Alhaji Ibrahim Kashim-Imam, who spoke earlier, said the plummeting education system was responsible for the lecture marking the school’s 110th founder’s day celebration.
