In Nigeria, most institutions aspiring to become degree awarding institutions are not finding the terms and conditions easy and we hardly have any university college. Yet, hundreds of thousands of our young people are seeking for admission into universities and JAMB, etc have become road blocks.
Our education policy makers need to go on a study tour of tertiary institutions in Ghana to learn how the country is able to provide admission opportunities for most of her citizens and even admitting several thousands from Nigeria. Is there any reason why we cannot go to learn from Ghana to improve our education system?
