‘Poor quality of education leads to decadence’



Executive Director, THE NEWS Magazine, Kunle Ajibade, has attributed the decadence in the nation to poor standard of education.
He also said the leadership problem in the land was a product of falling standard and mediocrity. Ajibade made the remarks in a radio programme, titled, ‘Bull’s Eye’ on Monday while talking about his new book, What a country. He traced the decadence in the land to what he called paradigm shift that bastardised the system, saying the society had a major role to play in reversing the trend.
He said, “If Wole Soyinka had not won a Nobel Laureate, writers in this country would have been treated like a rag by the outside world.”

He said, “These new PHCs are designed to make cases of malaria, ante-natal and child delivery a local affair while difficult cases which the PHCs cannot cope with will see such patients referred to general hospitals and teaching hospitals.”

Minister warns publishers against corruption



Minister of State for Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, has warned publishers against conniving with schools to sabotage Federal Government’s efforts at improving the quality of education.

He gave the warning in Abuja on Friday in a meeting with publishers awarded the contract to produce free instructional materials for the Universal Basic Education programme.

“I summon this meeting just to let you know how serious we are and that it is no longer going to be business as usual. Every effort being made by Federal Government to improve quality of education at the basic level is being sabotaged by various people,” he said.

The minister explained that the meeting became necessary as the government had awarded contract for the purchase of materials for core subjects for public primary and junior secondary schools.

Wike pointed out that government was aware that publishers colluded with State Universal Basic Education Boards to sabotage government efforts through corrupt practices. He added that most times, the usual number of books that were supposed to be supplied were not supplied, saying, “Instead, cash is being exchanged,” he said.

He warned the publishers to refrain from such act, as the government had set up monitoring teams that would supervise the supply of the books in the states.

“This will also check what the Universal Basic Education Commission is doing; we want to actually know if the commission is part of the sabotage.”
