Many individuals go through the process of preparing for and taking the GED in order to better themselves. This equivalency test is the key for many other opportunities that are inaccessible due to the lack of a high school diploma.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gedbooks.org/ensure-yourself-success-by-using-printable-ged-practice-tests/" rel="nofollow">printable ged practice test free</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174157687212464551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261963939707817756.post-89999645407495371302011-12-20T06:04:02.982-08:002011-12-20T06:04:02.982-08:00@Ginger, Everyone has a part to play but govt must...@Ginger, Everyone has a part to play but govt must be the vehicle that drives the reforms that needs to happen for progress to take place.Naija4Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535768349773752809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261963939707817756.post-4091938513499355752011-09-11T19:03:33.856-07:002011-09-11T19:03:33.856-07:00Great commentary.

There are so many aspects to this matter..is it the parents who have left nollywood to teach their children English, same parent are also ready to pay the requisite bribes.<br /><br />Or is it the govt who underpays teachers and doesnt maintain schools which makes the teaching profession very unattractive thus leaving the job for the 'academic rejects' cos brilliant students are not motivated to teach. And what do we expect of academic rejects who couldn't be bothered to do well in school or probably paid their own way through? they reproduce exactly what they know..garbage in, garbage out. I knew a girl from a public school who spelt tiger (tiga) cause that was what her teacher taught them..<br /><br />i think it starts from teachers. maybe an NGO could walk on 'putting the teach back in teaching'.....Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294850491382303707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261963939707817756.post-721251226398384572011-09-04T06:17:56.165-07:002011-09-04T06:17:56.165-07:00@ Tamuno & @Adura Ojo, True indeed, but I worr...@ Tamuno & @Adura Ojo, True indeed, but I worry that the powers that be don't seem to understand the enormity of the problem let alone profer workable solutions.Naija4Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535768349773752809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261963939707817756.post-72710917507145837842011-09-04T03:55:51.484-07:002011-09-04T03:55:51.484-07:00The picture is bleak and like you said the future ...The picture is bleak and like you said the future is now. Something should be done to improve the quality of education in Nigeria across all levels - Primary, secondary and tetiary education. <br /><br />But who will do it when there is no accountability and effective governance from our Nigerian leaders?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467664797856391600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261963939707817756.post-89818480960299694852011-09-02T09:44:49.515-07:002011-09-02T09:44:49.515-07:00education in nigeria is a big problem. The fact is...education in nigeria is a big problem. The fact is that we also sometimes focus on what isn't important. Like an arts child must not necessary A'ced Maths. English yes. I feel that the subject to be made compulsory for all students should be "HISTORY".Eevery child should know the history of his/her country.<br />I wish we will invest more time, money, effort into our educational system.<br />www.secretlilies.blogspot.com<br />Nice blog.
