Tell me about the education system of your country.

Illiteracy is very rampant in Africa especially in Nigeria where it has pose a threat to our national development. So government and corporate bodies must work hand in hand to ensure youths received affordable and quality eduction because they are the leaders of tomorrow.

Education system in Nigeria involve 3 stages of learning process such as:

• Primary school level

• Secondary school level and

• Higher institution or tertiary education

√ Primary school level: Primary school education is mandatory to every children in Nigeria, and it usually started when children reach the age of 6 years. Schools in Nigeria have their own uniform which distinguish pupils from one another. Pupils spend six years in primary school and graduating at the age of 12 years. First school leaving certificate are awarded to the students during the graduation ceremony.

√ • Secondary school level: After students write qualified exam which is known as common entrance examination, the best students can now proceed with secondary school education. Secondary school in Nigeria last for 6 years to complete, boy's and girl's have their own separate schools but it depends on their parents choice.

Mixed schools and special school is also available for people with disability such as autism, dumb and deaf etc. On their final class students will write their last examination which is known as Waec (West African examination council), and Neco (National examination council). The students who successfully passing the examination will gain admission into the Nigeria university.

√ Tertiary Education: The students who want to further his or her education to the university must have at least 5 credits including Mathematics and English language in their O' level results (Neco or Waec). They need to pass universities matriculation examination which was conducted by Jamb (joint admission and matriculation board) because is one of the majors requirement any university in Nigeria will ask from the candidates.

University in Nigeria is usually minimum of 4 years and it depends on the course you wish to study. For example law, agriculture last for 5 years, medicine last for period of 6 years.

Students who didn't meet up the requirement either in jamb, post jamb, Waec or Neco can seek admission into polytechnic which is usually last for two year, after the final examination, the successful candidates can apply for Direct entry into any university of their choice.

Is there any special institute or organisation which is working for the welfare of mankind?

Nigeria is the largest population in Africa with over more than 250 millions people living in the Country, their are different organisation or NGO that cater for the needs of young people.

Save the children is an organisation that encourage the children to learn basic skill such as reading and writing. In northern Nigeria 48% of young girls have been force to married at earlier age especially 16 year of age, so this organisation ensure that young girls are protected from any physical harm.

Many of public service in Borno state Nigeria were collapsed by Bokoharam insurgency which left many people homeless, many classroom are destroyed due to conflict that occur in their region. Save the children, campaign throughout the nation to ensure children receive quality education, prevent malnutrition, and support the children who are in need.

Social welfare agency in Nigeria always monitoring the activities of people in order to ensure safety of the citizen. They also assist students by giving them what they need in school such as text book, note book, school bag, uniform etc.

Do you think your education system need improvements?

Big yes, Education system in Nigeria need to be reforms, our class room is dilapidated where students can be seen outside particularly under the tree with their teacher giving them lecture. Government must renovate or build new classroom equip them with chairs and tables so that students can sit and receive lecture comfortably.

Government should invest in technology to aid learning and teaching in our schools and this will also promote educational sector in Nigeria. Unqualified teachers need to be sack immediately and replace them with qualified teachers so that our children can receive sound education.

Government need to fund our educational sector in every state, corruption and greed must be properly shun so that our educational system can be compete globally.

Youth are the nation builder, we must properly taking care of them in terms of support and attention because they are the future leaders of every countries in the world. I will like to invite @richy20, @piya3, @shiftitamanna, @starrchris and @emmy01 to join me.
