Blaqjosh7: Every day there's a reduction in the standard of education in our public schools making the masses especially the poor lack adequate education,this is caused by so many factors but one of the factors leading to the decline of educational standards is over population in most public schools
students are packed up in a class like sardines and the highest the teacher can do is talk though he/she's sure that very few students understand but what can be done by one teacher teaching about 150 students in a small class meant for a maximum of 50 students
we really need to try to do something abiuy the question is what do we do to save our future

The Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Union of Teachers has said that the planned autonomy for local governments should not include the payment of salaries and allowances of primary school teachers.

The teachers who trekked from the Oregun Senior High School to the Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday, were prevented by the police from accessing the premises of the LAHA.

The teachers threatened to remove the barricades before they were later received by the Chairman, House Committee on Education, Mr. Lanre Ogunyemi, and the Chairman, House Committee on Public Accounts, Mr. Bisi Yusuf.

Noting that teachers were not against the proposed autonomy for local government, the Lagos NUT Chairman, Mr. Segun Raheem, however, said that local government would not be able to cope with teachers salaries, a situation which he said could lead to incessant industrial strike.

He said, Primary school education has its own budget and a percentage is meant for salaries and allowances. That percentage should be taken away from the local government tier.

We are not against local government autonomy. But no local government can afford to pay salaries. The local government did not employ us because it can only employ officers up to Grade Level Six. No teacher is below Grade Level Seven. Allowing local governments to pay salaries will take us back to 1992 when primary school teachers were owed salaries.

Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has warned the Federal Government against the proposed establishment of Ruga settlements across the country for herdsmen.

He warned that the move, if not checked will set the country on fire.

Speaking in Lagos on Tuesday at the launch of United Nations’ Solutions 17 SDG programme, Soyinka berated the federal government for the idea, which will said can cause Nigeria to explode.

According to him:

“RUGA IS GOING TO BE AN EXPLOSION IF NOT HANDLED WITH CARE. BUT WHY DO WE NOT TAKE OUR POLICIES FROM GOOD MODELS? THIS IS NOT THE WAY PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES DEAL WITH ISSUES OF CATTLE.

“I TRAVEL EVERYWHERE. IT HAS TO BE HANDLED IN A WAY THAT IS LOGICAL, COMPREHENSIBLE TO THE ENVIRONMENT. WHEN A CATTLE WALKS UP TO THE WINDOW OF MY HOUSE IN ABEOKUTA, A HOUSE WHICH IS LOCATED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, THEN THERE’S A PROBLEM.

“WHEN CATTLE GOES TO IJEBU ODE AND EAT UP THEIR PLANT SEEDLINGS AND SO ON AND YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO BE QUIET?”

He stated the handling of the herdsmen issue by President Muhammadu Buhari was enough to make him lose re-election.

“PRESIDENT BUHARI DESERVED TO HAVE LOST THE LAST ELECTION FOR THE LACKADAISICAL ATTITUDE HE TOOK TO THE ISSUE OF CATTLE REARING IN THE COUNTRY.

“PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN HUNDREDS JUST BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP AT A CRITICAL TIME. AND THE CATTLE HERDERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SENSE OF IMPUNITY. THEY KILL WITHOUT ANY COMPUNCTION, THEY DRIVE AWAY THE FARMERS WHO HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTING TO THE FOOD SOLUTIONS IN THE COUNTRY, THE CATTLE EAT THEIR CROPS AND THEN YOU COME UP WITH RUGA.

“I THINK THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE TROUBLE IN THIS COUNTRY IF THIS RUGA THING IS NOT HANDLED IMAGINATIVELY AND WITH HUMANITY AS PRIORITY. ANY COUNTRY WHERE CATTLE TAKES PRIORITY OVER HUMAN LIFE IS DEFINITELY AT AN ELEMENTARY STAGE,” HE MAINTAINED
