The Late American Philosopher, Allan Bloom, once described education as the movement from darkness to light! This statement has proven to be true over the years.
Without education people are easily brain washed; They cannot apply critical thinking skills so they easily believe what the few evil-minded 'smart' ones want them to believe; They are easily convinced to do evil to and because most of them are poverty- stricken, they commit the most atrocious things for a ridiculously small amount of money.
It may not be far from the truth to say that Nigeria is played by so many evils today due to her comatose Education Sector. It is high time we all stopped apportioning blames as to who did what to bring Nigeria's education sector to he knees.
Having enumerated the problems to include poor teacher training, low quality education, poor funding high teacher/students ratio, inadequate schools, curriculum, wrong policies, poor teachers' renumeration, poor infrastructure etc, this is the time to get to work.
We already know the problems so no need flogging a dead horse. We need workable, practical solutions. Any nation that fails to get it right in this sectors is done for.
Our government must do more to revive our education sector in terms of quality teacher's salaries, Good building for our schools, conducive environment for our childeren to learn and good curriculum to go with it.
Nigeria must work. It is a must for Our Education Sector to Be revived positively.
