How do Nigerians receive education?
Ten years ago, primary and secondary schools in Nigeria were strictly compulsory. Not only is there no charge, but also the students' lunch is free. This policy was abolished with the economic downturn. But the tuition is very low. For example, Lagos University, known as the best university in West Africa. Among them, the tuition fee for the best law major is only 65,438+00,000 naira per semester, equivalent to RMB 500 yuan. Prices in this country are very high. The price in Lagos is three times that in Beijing. This figure is only equivalent to the water and electricity charges of a family of six for half a year. Other majors are lower, so are other schools. In addition to tuition, students have to pay accommodation, which is similar to tuition. Primary and junior high schools in public schools are compulsory. A missionary school I have been to is a private school, and the fees are not high. The funds mainly come from donations from believers, and half of the income is invested in the development of the school. Therefore, the fees are low and the quality of education is much higher than that of public schools. Many teachers in OKO Institute of Technology, where my husband teaches now, believe in the quality of education in this school, so they gave up their affiliated primary school (free public school) and chose this missionary school. This relatively low cost from primary school to university is the most basic guarantee for the sustainable development of education in this country. In the long run, it provides long-term intellectual factors and development impetus for the country to get out of the turbulent political situation and economic development. Because of the different national conditions, we have no intention to compare with China. However, if we can get some enlightenment from it, it will be enough. Although there are still some problems in Nigeria, because they have a good social atmosphere of respecting teachers and valuing education, I think Nigeria will have a beautiful tomorrow.
