Why Children Hate Schools In Nigeria (+PICTURES) - Education - Nairaland

The level and standard of education is dropping in the country Day by Day,we can say this from the WAEC results of this year.
Though the children have a large part to play for their success,we cannot entirely blame them.
So this is why I think the children of these days hate school.

Bad Teachers: if you compare the educational sector abroad to that of Nigeria,you will see that the teachers try to create an friendly environment,and make sure the children see them as friends they can trust,but here most teachers are only concerned about their paychecks.

Poor Learning Aids: most of the schools across the country have little,poor or no learning aid.
Learning aids are important for every child to learn well,infact it helps for easy remembrance during tests.

Poor Learing Structures: all I can say is how do you expect a student to learn well when he is thinking
about his aching buttocks,from sitting on blocks or when he is distracted by counting the number of raindrops his teacher is dodging.



Poor Use Of ICT: this mostly has to do with the students,most students now spend almost 90% of their time on social networks,instead of using the internet to learn more about the topics they are being taught.

Cyber Cheating: most students now instead of studying believe all sorts of scammers they find on the net promising them 'expos' for a 'little token'. Even here on Nairaland you can find soome of them,and I try my best to alert the Mods to delete those sort of threads. Most of the time,these students get scammed but still continue searching for 'expos'.if laws can be put in place to close down sites promising expos, the educational sector would improve.

Bad Management In Schools: yes,this point is also important,how can the proprietor of a school ask teachers to teach students during external exams?! Such people need to be jailed. This has caused so much havoc to the country that most youths these days cant defend their results.

If these problems I have listed here can be tackled,I think the educational sectoor would improve. We all also should not wait for the government to do things,we all hve a part to play.
Say no to corruption.
Long Live Nigeria!
Long Live Nairaland!
And Long Live ....any other good thing you guys want grin

so, what other problems do you think the educational sector is facing that should be improved upon?
