The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has expressed concern
over the poor quality of education in the country, saying the nation’s
learning system “is still in a quandary.”
Director of Communications, Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Rev. Fr.
Chris Anyanwu, said this in a statement on Tuesday, ahead of the
Catholic bishops’ first plenary for 2014 with the theme: Church/State
Partnership in Providing Quality Education for Nigerian People.” The
event has been scheduled for March 8 and 14 at the Daughters of Divine
Love Retreat and Conference Centre, in Lugbe, Abuja.
According to the statement, the CBCN has therefore called for full
partnership of the Church and state in running the affairs in the
nation’s education sector.
The conference described as worrisome the
fact that parents continue “to
seek qualitative education for their children outside the shores of
Nigeria,” while those learning at home were at the mercy of shylock
school proprietors “who exploit the advantage to rip-off Nigerian
parents of their hard earned money.”
Anyanwu’s statement read in part, “Today, our education system is still
in a quandary, in spite of efforts by subsequent governments,
introduction of several policies and directives that have further
threatened the standard of education in our country. Many questions have
continued to arise in respect of the standard of our educational system
without any hopeful answers from government and our policy makers.
“Even this opportunity (for foreign education) is for a privileged few.
For those in public schools, the children, who are in the majority are
educated at the mercy of “mother luck”, in spite of the huge sums of
money allegedly spent by governments on these public institutions of
learning.”
