Education in Nigeria

I saw this interesting article on Thisday Newspaper and I wonder what Nigeria is turning into. Mr . Bola ji Abdullahi, the Kwara state commisioner of education, science and technology who has been working round the clock to rebuild education in his state, recently launched an initiative to assess the needs of teachers in order to improve the quality of education in his state. Primary school teachers were given exercises/test materials designed for 10-12. The basic aim was to test their numeracy and literacy levels. Guess what? only 7 out of 19125 teachers scored 80 percent and above in the four tests. Just seven! As many as 259 scored zero despite holding "good qualifications".
You may think this is the worst case scenario in the federation but the assessors have not visited other states. What respect would those students have for such teachers that cannot pass a simple aptitude test. I think this assessment should be brought up to the university level. Some of this "so called" professors should be called to defend their academic chairs.
