The evaluation of the South-West's Free and Compulsory Primary and Secondary Education Policy, introspection, and the necessity of restructuring the policy to address the needs of the region.
I think this is very interesting. I am a teacher (not in Nigeria) so I definitely see some of the benefits of some of your ideas. A complete curricula overhaul is absolutely needed in Nigeria and comprehensive teacher training in pedagogy, students with exceptionalities, use of technology, etc is needed. I believe the use of the mother language (Yoruba) would also aid to an increase in literacy rates. In terms of the financial aspects, I don't particularly agree with it but I can see the logic behind this reasoning. I personally believe that education should be free (at least at the primary and secondary level). I am of the opinion that the focus should be more on increasing the spending allocation on education (as is done in countries that value education) rather than running education as a business. The government should be held accountable for their wastefulness in education spending. In addition, the idea of encouraging a tiered education system is not something I believe in. I believe that quality education is a public good that should be equally accessible to all people regardless of where they are from. I am not convinced that a tiered system will not be abused by bad-faith actors.
