REBRANDING NIGERIA'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FOR EFFECTIVE NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The battered image of Nigeria's educational system has continued to destructively affect the nation's economic growth and development. This is in view of the fact that education has decisive effect on the mind, character and physical ability of the individual, hence the society. The numerous problems of education in Nigeria has/have continued to exacerbate the scope of poverty as citizens lack requisite capacity building skills for self-actualization. Then came the rebranding Nigeria project campaign which is aimed at projecting Nigeria better and bringing about national rebirth. The argument of this paper therefore is that as a country, it is not Nigeria that needs rebranding, but rather it is Nigerians that must be rebranded through the internal process of rebranding the educational system for national economic development. In other words, there is need for a re-orientation on the provision of qualitative education if Nigeria is going to be liberated from the burden of grime image of half-baked-graduate syndrome.
