Education is essential in our life not even In the 21st century
where everyone takes it as a priority,
education as its different ways of operating all over the world, having experience
living in two countries, which is the united kingdom and Nigeria where I come
from. After comparing the two ways of education, having a strong believe for
education, and coming to a conclusion that there is a far different in the educational
standard in Nigeria and the united kingdom.
United kingdom education is a devolved matter, with each of the countries of the UK
having separate system under separate government
. The United Kingdom is responsible for England, and the Scottish government,
the welsh government and the Northern Ireland are responsible for Scotland. In the
uk there are different types of educational systems, such as the independent
school, public, primary school, secondary school, tertiary school, boarding
school, prep school compulsory school, grammar school, secondary modern school,
etc. full time education is compulsory for
all children age between 5 and 16 with the range of 96 per cent of student in
England, wales , Scotland and the rest
of Britain gets to go to school free of
charge this money are from the public funds while with calculation 6 per cent go to independent schools furthermore it’s
been known that united kingdom give their
student loan to go to the uni and have
to get to pay after they get a job . This
can’t be find in Nigeria.
In Nigeria,
education is been handled by the
ministry of education, the formal 6-3-3-4 is been used for schooling system,
six years in the primary school, three years in the junior secondary school,
three years in the senior secondary school , then 4 years in the university. Has
the year runs by education in Nigeria reproves but not up to the standard of
the uk, in Nigeria free education is only for the student going to the public schools, in
which this schools are being seen as an eye saw, student get to sit mostly on
the floor due to lack of chairs. Nigeria
is a country said to flow with milk and honey, as much as it has its milk, there
is high rate of poverty, where education is not really compulsory as there are substitute
where kids can go learn handwork such as, mechanics, tailor etc., in Nigeria there
are enough private schools for student to go into.
As much as the
united kingdom is more developed than Nigeria,
the u k believe more education than the Nigerians there is now, if you are not given a scholarship, or parent
are of average status the is no loaning of anyone money to go through school. In
Nigeria University the normal program of the school is four year due to the
strikes called asuu strikes student get to spend 2 to 4 more years in the university,
apart from private universities, which in the UK is not done.
In conclusion as the years run by its clear the United
Kingdom as more edge in educational system than Nigeria my country due to lack development.
