BACK TO SCHOOL,BACK TO THE BASICS.
Tonight on The Bow, we do an EXCLUSIVE PODCAST episode called BACK TO SCHOOL,BACK TO THE BASICS.Sadly we ask ourselves if we are there yet in terms of quality education in Nigeria.This programming content is NOT to ferment emotions. This dossier was compiled from GTC Enugu(for Southern Nigeria),GTC Orozo (for Northern Nigeria) and GTC Garki Area 3 Abuja (for Central Nigeria).We look into Government Technical Colleges in Nigeria where the buildings are dilapidated(far from safe spaces and definitely not effective learning environments).Another major decline in technical education in Nigeria is that teachers loot equipments AND OR funds to their well established private schools. These are sad present day realities in government technical colleges in Nigeria.Please listen to this episode by visiting The Bow
