Its foundation of development is education. If the country’s education system is reformed to emphasize the practical aspects of learning, particularly entrepreneurship. There is a strong likelihood that young people will become self-sufficient and employers of labor. This is due to the fact that they must have developed technological expertise as well as future-oriented understanding.
Education can be the key to success if every level of government, can create a technical support platform for undergraduates to learn how to transform their knowledge into something useful for the nation.
Education can be considered key to success when students acquire studies from tutors that are well known and experienced teachers. The government needs to look for quality teachers, put them at the forefront, pay them good salaries, and equip the educational buildings with modern materials. If the students go through such a way of acquiring knowledge, education can be described as key to success.
There is no doubt that education is the key to the problem in every human society, unfortunately in Nigeria graduates roam the streets looking for jobs. However, in the developed countries, students are taught to invest in entrepreneurship.
Recent statistics establishes that 25 million graduates are unemployed in the country, indicating that the government cannot employ the high population of the graduates, thus, there is a need for government at all levels to think and rethink in providing job opportunities for our teeming youths.
Nonetheless, the government is doing its best to reduce unemployment with many programmes initiated by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. The N-power is a good example. The programme was solely established to reduce the level of unemployment bedeviling the country, but unfortunately, many Nigerians are misusing the money given to them that will help them to invest in entrepreneurship.
Yes, education is still a key to success when some skills are acquired. What many of our graduates do not know is that skill is sometimes more important than a certificate. It is obvious that in the real world people need to see what you can give, not what you have.
We all need to wake up from our deep slumber because the government cannot do it alone. We need to use the skills that we acquired to help find lasting solutions to problems bedeviling the country.
