THE CURRENT SITUATION OF STUDENTS OF THE NIGERIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY.
So many students are confuse on what will happen if the Academic staff union of Universities (ASUU) embarks on another strike. Below I will list some of the traps students will fall in when ASUU decide to go on another strike.
1. AFFECTING THE STUDENTS PSYCHOLOGY
You see most students are eager to get done with their degree program, most of them know that there may not be a jobs available when they are done with their degree program yet they strive day and night to see that they make their parents proud.
Most of the students do not even like the courses they study but they still try to earn the degree since it has become a MUST in the Nigerian society. So, another strike may discourage this tudents and lower morale about school.
2. PEER PRESSURE
You see on the contrary students of the same age and capabilities from the private Universities or abroad, sometimes even less talented as the ones in public Universities graduate on time and easily grab the rarely available jobs in the labour market. This alone demoralizes the students studying in the public Universities in Nigeria.
3. SHIFTING FROM A STANDARD SYSTEM OF EDUCATION TO A LOWER ONE THAT CAN GIVE THEM THE CERTIFICATE EASILY.
The strike, is mostly why a lot of students from the nigerian public University students run away to other countries with lower quality educational system to get degrees without stress and delay.
4. HIGH DROP OUT RATE
Most of the students are tired, some are entrepreneurs, some are already working with their lower certificate e.g SSCE, Diploma, NCE, e.t.c
But the main thing that may cause this to happen, is the current economic situation of the country. Most of this students and their parents, have little or no source of income. So when they deem the educational system to be expensive and time wasting, they may decide to drop out to learn a skill or get a job that provides their daily bread.
5. HIGH CRIME RATE
Only the sensible once amongst those that drop out of school may think of learning a skill or find a fitting job. The lazy ones amongst them may turn to crime to provide for their basic needs e.g kidnapping, robbery, banditry and terrorism e.t.c.
Nice one, make we rest small
