Today society is continually evolving yet, somehow, it has become generally accepted that schooling should not change in Nigeria. Failure in delivery of conforming educational matters to these evolutions’, especially to children in this 21st century who cannot pass primary and secondary completion examinations, by our assessment is a teething trouble.
Many still hold an expectation that what “used to work” remains appropriate. The world today is different, as we knew it before, courtesy science and Technology -that made the world a global village. Does one refuse to wear new cloths –EDUCATION- to protect and prepare him for the changing climate in view of human activities on this planet earth; when the old ones' have –education- outgrown its time and conditions of use?
On the other hand, do we refuse to make changes that the young Nigerian will grow in a protective environment for him/her to make this country a good place to live? Note, it does not mean the old cloths-educational set up- are bad; they just do not serve their purpose any longer in the new generation subject to environmental changes and new technology.
Critical Theory and Critical teaching are based on the premise of continual change. Perhaps Critical teaching and creativity will help us to prepare the Nigerian young citizens of tomorrow for the inevitable changes they must meet, not only in engineering, Vocational and Technical Education, even with natural sciences. These critical teaching and creativity cannot be brought to change by people who had never experienced the industry and are not matters just for classroom [Paper Qualifications] Professors’ and PHD holders.
Research finding, faulted our educational set up by those Political educationists and incompetent official on institutional development who successfully entrenched quantitative education rather than qualitative, using Ethnical Politics, Quarter system without focusing on Merits, and Religious extremism not putting into consideration the oneness of Nigeria as a NATION. Visit http://vocational-problemszonkwa.blogspot.com/ for more elaborations and the consequence is the type of ill- cultured legislators we have today, people cut corners and use quacks in construction firms, Admission's into the University are not base on merits but religion, tribe and region-while science and technology cares only for those that can make it happen-Banks misuse depositors money for their selfish interest while appointments are not by merits any longer and all these groups parading them selves as well informed[in derailing society's], lacking in cognisant of the Nigerian YOUTHS growth.
