The APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, has called for an overhaul of Nigeria’s educational curriculum, which he blames for the country’s high unemployment rates
Here are the key points he made on the topic:
– The current educational curriculum focuses too much on theory and not enough on practical skills.
– Other countries like China and India integrate skills acquisition into their educational systems starting in primary school.
– Nigeria’s educational system fails to equip students with the skills needed to compete in today’s job market.
– As a result, graduates are good at theory but lack the skills needed for entrepreneurship and societal development.
– The government cannot provide jobs for all citizens, so youths need to take matters into their own hands and develop skills to become self-sufficient and contribute to national development.
