Gone are the days when Education is education,but nowadays,it's just a mere travesty of what education used to be in the past.For,without any iota of doubt,nigerian education has been strangled almost to death by unpatriotic and egocentric leaders.And,as it appears,the hope of redemption is not yet born by the downtrodden masses and the incumbent government personalities.For,had the redemption of the deteriorating state of Nigerian been earnestly tried,then,it would have a bit better than its present state. What are the measures to be taken to remedy the deteriorating state of education in Nigeria? This question could,if given passing interest,take decades to be appropriately answered.But its answer cannot be far fetched if selfishness is absolutely ruled out.For,the measures are as manifest as the causes that ruined the system. It's evident that some people seem to underrate the menace deterioration in education poses to the development of a nation whatsoever.For, if we give deterioration in education the seriousness it fully deserves,we will not sit in comfort of air-conditioned rooms and plan measures we know we cannot materialised just at the expense of escaping media's challenge.For instance,if the outside world is briefed about our never-ending plans,it will be impressed to the deegree that it will respect the incumbent leaders.As a matter,the plans are never materialised and the manifest measures end up being thrown in the dustbin of political history.More devastating than this is the way incumbent leaders,having ruined government schools,shamelessly enroll their children and relatives in expensive private school or send them abroad to acquire sound education.And,although it's not suprising,some ,if not all,of the rich amidst the toiling masses follow the path trodden by the incumbent leaders.And,of course,the children of the downtrodden masses are left in the hands of inept,incompetent and nonchalent teacher albeit their parents wallowing in abject poverty. In Nigeria,the temple of leadership shall soon be assumed by the victims of dying education if we keep folded arms.
