The adage (school na scam)by most Nigerian is becoming realistic.for a country to grow and develop,it most invest in is human capital.presently.universities, polytechnics and colleges are on strike.the educational system of the country is very poor.
Another problem is high unemployment rate: most graduate that are are qualified and ready to work,are not employed which is decrease the rate at which people go to school.
With the poor educational system of the country, skills acquisition and empowerment is also low which worsened the situation.
There are reasons for most Nigerians that live in the nation to believe that education isn't working in the country but I tell you this now, the education and skill set you get off the four walls of an institution is very much vital to your existence. Not minding the poor state of its educational sector and the low level of importance ots given, there is a need for the education of every Nigerian youth of proper age.
It's never compulsory anywhere that once you are out of school, you get employed by the government or some other private entities out there as, schools equips you to be an emoyer of Labour too. That's why eve as a professional, your thought a general skill set so, you could afford some level of flexibility and can diversify. You can't afford being a stalk illiterate and expect yourself to compete so well in the larger world. Yeah, you can do well even as an illiterate but, you'll still need professionals to aid you in your management system.
Education is a necessity.
